The Dallas Post SPORTS Sunday, April 3, 2005 New twists in education for hunters and trappers The Pennsylvania Game Commission is launching a new format and curriculum for its basic Hunter-Trapper Education program. The latest course of study, designed to meet the standards for hunter training established by the International Hunter Education Association, is divid- ed into two parts: knowledge and skills. Additional subjects are included to meet the needs of first-time hunters and trap- pers in Pennsylvania. Wyoming County is one of six counties across the state that will be offering this new training throughout the year. To complete the first part of the training, the knowledge portion, students have several options. They can attend a tra- ditional knowledge-based class taught by certified volunteer instructors. These classes will be conducted over a two or three-day period and will require about eight hours of class time. Classes are typically held at local sportsmen’s clubs, schools or civic organizations. Knowledge class opportunities for Wyoming County appear below. Another option, which allows students to complete their knowledge component, is to study on their own. A new online course, Today’s Hunter & Trapper in Pennsylvania, is available via a link on the Game Commission’s website. This interactive, multi-media course will guide students through the same curriculum materials used by those students attend- ing a traditional class. The advantage is that independent- study students can work at their own pace and work at times convenient to their own schedules. If computer-based training is not for you, the third option enables students to request a printed manual by calling the Game Commissions Northeast Regional Office at 675-1143. A copy of Today’s Hunter & Trapper in Pennsylvania will be mailed to you at no charge. After completing the knowl- edge portion of their training, students must register for and attend a Hunter-Trapper this training session, students must pass an evaluation in the safe and responsible handling of firearms, together with actu- al or simulated live-fire exercis- es. At the conclusion of the day’s activities, students will be required to complete a written test before they are certified. Dates, times and locations for skill class opportunities in Wyoming County appear below. Registration for these class- es can be done online. This fea- ture, which will be activated by mid-year, can save time and will streamline the program’s record-keeping process. Prior to activation of this feature, students interested in taking a class in Wyoming County are required to register by contact- ing the Northeast Regional Office at 675-1143, (Mon.- Fri.,, 8a.m. to 3:30 p.m.). Students are encouraged to register for a skills class early, as class sizes are limited to 50 students. Beginning in 2006, the Game Commission plans to expand this new format and training, making it available statewide.
