NRA Members' Councils Promote Hunter Education

Working in support of the Hunter Education Program administered by the California Department of Fish and Game, the NRA Members' Councils of California is urging all NRA members and hunters to promote safe and responsible hunting. 

The NRA is known as a long-time supporter of hunting and promotes this activity through its Hunter Services Division:

Hunting has been an important human activity for thousands of years. Historically, hunting has been essential to survival and it continues to be in remote areas of the United States and other countries. Additionally, millions of people enjoy its many social, economic, and ecological benefits.

The NRA strongly supports every law-abiding American's privilege to hunt. Along with approximately 15.1 million American hunters and many national conservation organizations, we're working to preserve the American hunting tradition for future generations.

Managed Hunting is a beneficial use of renewable wildlife resources, being in fact a necessary management practice to maintain a proper balance among most species and their habitat. Hunting is essential to the success of wildlife management.

Here in California, one of the best ways to promote safe and responsible hunting, is to promote Hunter Education.  One of the best ways to promote Hunter Education, is to promote the availability of more classes and instructors.  Therefore, it is only logical that more Hunter Education instructors are needed.  Currently, the CA DFG is recruiting more volunteer Hunter Education Instructors.  The NRA Members' Councils of California strongly supports the this effort!

Currently scheduled California Hunter Education classes are available throughout the state and via the Internet.  For a list of available classes go to CA DFG Hunter Ed class listing or you can contact CA DFG Hunter Ed Staff if you require further information. 

If you would like to become a California Hunter Education Instructor, contact Capitan Roy Griffith at (916) 653-9727 or rgriffith@dfg.ca.gov .  It is very rewarding to share your knowledge and experience with others. 

Safe Hunting is NO Accident!
