FWC offers free hunter safety course in Okaloosa County

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is offering a free hunter safety course in Okaloosa County.

An adult must accompany children who are under age 16 at all times. Students should bring a pencil and paper with them to take notes.

The state requires successful completion of a hunter safety course before anyone born on or after June 1, 1975, can purchase a Florida hunting license.  The FWC course satisfies hunter safety training requirements for all other states and Canadian provinces.

People interested in attending this course can register online and obtain information about future hunter safety classes at MyFWC.com/HunterSafety or by calling the FWC's regional office in Panama City at 850-265-3676.
