Have you ever thought about becoming a Hunter
Education instructor? People volunteer
as instructors in the Hunter Education Programs (Hunter Education,
BowHunter Education, Trapper Education) for many reasons. Chief
among them is the desire to be a valuable part of the outdoor tradition
and help ensure its future. Potential instructors should be hunters
(or trappers) with at least a few years of practical experience.
The ideal situation is for two or more people to organize a teaching
team or you may join an existing team. All volunteers are trained,
certified and provided with required course materials.
Candidates for the position of volunteer instructor
must satisfy the following requirements:
Be at least 18 years of age.
Have completed the appropriate basic course
(Hunter, Bow Hunter or Trapper)
Return a completed instructor application
(available from NH Fish & Game Headquarters) to the Hunter
Education Program office.
Be successfully screened through a background
investigation to include a criminal records check as well as fish
and game violations check.
Complete required instructor training and
pass the written instructor’s exam with a minimum score of 90
percent.
Once an application is submitted, the applicant
will be notified of upcoming training sessions. Once certified,
instructors then must:
teach at least one course during their two-year
certification period, and
attend a workshop annually.
Becoming a volunteer Hunter Education Instructor
takes effort and commitment and it can bring with it many rewards.
If you would like to help maintain a tradition of safe and responsible
hunting and trapping, then this program may be for you!
