The Dallas Post SPORTS HUNTER Continued from Page 7 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 Commission’s 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 Education skills class. This hands-on training, which will take about six hours to com- plete, uses interactive video and laser technology along with actual firearms. During 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 classes 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, stu- dents 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.
