What is Hunter Education?
Hunter education covers a variety of topics including firearms safety,
wildlife identification, wildlife conservation
and management, survival, archery, muzzleloading and hunter
responsibility. It is available as a standard

Why Hunter Education?
Over the past 30 years, hunting related accidents and fatalities have
declined by more than 70 percent in Oklahoma. Officials with the Oklahoma
Department of Wildlife Conservation (ODWC) say mandatory hunter education
courses have not only reduced accidents within Oklahoma, but also in every
state and Canadian province with similar programs.
