WHY HUNTER EDUCATON?
The first mandated hunter education program began in New York in 1949 to reduce hunting accidents. As hunter education programs spread across the country, safety coordinators formed what is now the International Hunter Education Association to create a core curriculum, which is the basis for this course.
Hunter education programs have always taught young hunters the practice of firearm and hunting safety.
Today, hunter education programs are about more than safety. They have been expanded to produce knowledgeable, responsible, and involved hunters -hunters who understand the importance of complying with hunting laws and behaving ethically.
These programs give beginners a good foundation, and they provide a refresher for veteran hunters.
Ultimately, the mission of hunter education programs is to ensure the continuation of the hunting tradition.
Responsibility, Safety Skills, Knowledge, and Involvement Hunter education strives to instill responsibility, improve skills and knowledge, and encourage the involvement of beginner and veteran hunters.
Responsible, ethical behavior and personal involvement are all essential to the survival of hunting.
Responsibility A knowledgeable and skillful student of hunting will never be a true hunter unless he or she also behaves responsibly.
Responsible behavior includes courtesy, respect of others and of wildlife, and involvement. Responsible hunters do not poach or act carelessly.
Responsible hunters obey hunting laws, hunt fairly, practice safety rules, and wait for a clean kill before shooting.
How you behave and how other people see you will determine hunting's future- Safety Skills Hunting-related safety skills are gained through hands-on training and practice. It is most valuable to learn these skills from an experienced hunter.
Knowledge is learning and understanding the basics of safe gun handling and hunting. Before being trained in the skill of firearm shooting, you should know how the firearm operates and how to safely handle it.
Involvement Part of the process of becoming a true, responsible sportsman is becoming involved in efforts to make hunting a respected sport. That includes teaching others, working with landowners, and cooperating with game wardens. It also includes joining conservation organizations, which will help preserve habitat and promote wildlife management.
