Do You Need Hunter Safety?
Are you still needing to take Idaho hunter safety?
This recent outbreak of the COVID-19 virus has changed many of our normal life activities. The Idaho Fish and Game has stopped all near future instructor lead hunter safety classes.
This leaves new hunters that want to get their hunter certification now with only one choice. You will need to do an online course. A link to that course is https://www.hunter-ed.com/idaho/. The fee for that course is only $24.50.
Idaho is waving the field day
Typically you would be required to follow up the online hunter education course with a field day, but Idaho is currently waiving that due to the virus outbreak.
Now I have been a hunter education instructor in Idaho for over 10 years and I’m sad to see this be the case. I believe every new hunter should have some formal hands on training to give themselves the confidence and reassurance they have the skills to be a safe hunter.
Find a good hunting mentor
But after saying that though, I know the number one influence on new hunters is their hunting mentor. So, once someone leaves my class, they are going to follow the example that their hunting mentor sets for them.
So if you know someone needing to take hunter educuation, now would be a great time. Especially if they are part of the individuals that are stuck at home during this uncertain time.
Besides, if you live in Idaho and are needing something to do, at the time of this article, spring bear hunting and turkey hunting are still open in Idaho. Just be respectful of others and keep your social distancing.
If you need help after taking the online Idaho hunter education course, please let me know. I have been a hunting mentor for over 20 years and would enjoy helping you with your hunting challenges.
