Public Education Course Announcement

FREE Hunter Education Field Days

  

Need to take a Hunter Safety Course, but don't want to attend the tradition two-day class? The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fishers is now offering a Hunter Safety "Home Study Course" which allows you to take a portion of Hunter Safety Course online, and then attend a "Field Day" to complete the course.

 

The Lafourche Parish Sheriff's Office will be hosting two Hunter Education Field Days this summer for those looking to complete their online Hunter Safety Course. Both Field Days will take place from 8am to 1pm at the LPSO Shooting Range located at 3451 Hwy. 182 in Raceland. Attendance is FREE, but advance online registration is required. To register, click on the link for the Field Day you want to attend:

 

Field Day #1: Tuesday, June 25

Field Day #2: Tuesday, July 16

 

There will be a written test required to complete the Field Day. Students should NOT bring firearms or ammunition, but snacks are permitted.   

 

REMEMBER, before you can attend a Field Day, you MUST first complete the Home Study Course and obtain your course completion voucher. Field Day entry will be denied without the completion voucher. The cost for the Home Study Course is $15.
