Hunter Education

Our hunter and trapper education programs are designed for every age and ability. These free-to-the-public hunter-education classes are brought to you by the Fitchville Conservation League and partially funded by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR).

ODNR-certified instructors conduct classes and cover a range of topics from: conservation, safety, and ethics, to the proper handling of firearms, bow hunting gear, and more. Courses are designed to provide the participant with the knowledge to become a safe and responsible hunter. Free lunch is provided.

Participants 10 years and younger need to be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

A Hunter Education course is required to purchase a hunting license. The course is designed to instill a code of ethics and responsibility, as well as provide instruction on guns and gun handling, field care of game, wildlife management, hunting regulations, and related topics.

Classes run 8:00 am – 5:00 pm and a free lunch is included.
