About the Program
Overview:
Advanced Hunter Education courses cover topics outside of the Hunter Education certification course. Events include introduction to live fire, Dutch oven, hunting workshops, and more.
Live Fire Classes
Live fire classes are run by certified Range Safety Officers (RSO) instructing proper safety and handling of firearms. Key practices include wearing eye/ear protection, following specific Range Safety Officer commands, and understanding range-specific Standard Operating Procedures. Point the muzzle in a safe direction, treat every firearm with the respect due a loaded gun, be sure of the target and what is in front of it and beyond it, and keep your finger outside the trigger guard until ready to shoot. Events include introducing students to firing Rifles, Muzzleloaders, Shotguns and crossbows at a shooting facility. The class is free of charge, and all material is provided.
Workshops and Specialty Classes
Classes for the Nevada Tag Application process and interactive educational sessions on Nevada’s Antelope, Mule deer and Bighorn sheep are hosted throughout the state. Specialty classes include enhanced learning through hands-on experience in Wild Game Dutch Oven Cooking, Wilderness Survival, and Camping courses. Some classes are outdoors only, come prepared. Classes are free and all material is provided.
