Sitting here with my 8 year old daughter taking the hunter safety course. She can't wait to get out and shoot a deer next weekend.

Good luck to her. Hope she does well on the test. I need to find a class locally that I can help out with or I'll lose my certification. I haven't held a class in over a year now.

I think next year will be the first year for my daughter.

ok quick question for the neewbie heer! i am from alabama and have hunted and handled guns throughout my life. i am 23 years old, and have a brother in law that has some land and has invited me to go hunt it with him.... this being said i read that if you your born after some date that you had to have you hunter saftey coarse. now is there any way around this? i heard that if i am with a licensed hunter over 21 that i do not need it... on the other hand i dont want someone sitting over my shoulder while i am doing my thing... i just dont want to go waste 10 hours of my life for something that i have had training/experiance with my whole life... i am not nocking the HSC program because my little brother has takin' it, and has very good / helpfull info and gunhandling skills in the program... any thoughts or info on this would be greatlly appreciated... thanks, Nick.

Even with all of your experience you will learn something, hopefully! It's not that bad of a class. But you can get your apprentice license but you have to be within arms reach of a licensed hunter. I say take the class and be done with it FOREVER!

I have been through the class many times and helped teach it a few times. I always get something out of it.

Can an 8 year old pass the test? Ive been wanting to take my son he is 8 also but im worried about him passing the test. I took it 25 years ago and it was about 3 hours long back then and the test we took we did it together as a class.
