AREA TOWNS – Hunter, bowhunter and trapper education classes in Vermont are scheduled throughout the year, with a focus on preparing students for safe and responsible hunting. Classes are generally held just before the hunting seasons, and peak in March and April in advance of spring turkey season, and again in August and September before the fall hunting seasons.
Classes are held in various locations across the state. Courses cover a wide range of topics, including firearm handling, survival skills, ethics and hunting regulations. Prospective hunters are guided through interactive lessons, practical demonstrations, and hands-on exercises to ensure a comprehensive learning experience.
While there are no in-person courses within a 50-mile radius, registration for the nearest Vermont Hunter’s Home Study in Randolph will open February 1. The class will meet Saturday, April 18 from 4 to 8 p.m., at Randolph’s Fish and Game Club, located at 549 Lefebvre Road in Randolph. Students must bring their certificate of completion or completed workbook with them to the start of class.
The homework can be completed online at hunter-ed.com/vermont/, or students can complete the manual and workbook. To request a manual and workbook contact the Hunter Education Program at (802) 828-1193 or email them at [email protected].
