94.3 the Wolf Country That'll Make You Howl!
With Kentucky’s fall hunting season getting under way in mid-August, Kentucky Fish and Wildlife is helping to prepare new hunters for a safe and successful season.
KFW will be offering 20 in-person hunter education classes and live fire-range opportunities across the commonwealth as part of Hunter Education Day this Saturday, August 2. The annual education opportunity is held in conjunction with National Shooting Sports Month.
KFW offers a range of hunter education courses including hunter ethics, wildlife conservation and identification, field care of game, first aid, firearm safety, archery, and muzzleloading. Courses are offered in person and online, with the final sessions for in-person courses including a written test and a live-fire exercise while online participants may complete their live-fire exercise at a KFW range day.
All in-person courses and range days are open to participants nine years of age and older. The courses are free and participants will be provided with necessary equipment for testing free of charge, but registration is required.
Area locations participating in Hunter Education Day include the Knob Creek Gun Range in West Point and the Grayson County Ag Park in Leitchfield. Learn more about Hunter Education Day and other hunting requirements at fw.ky.gov.
