The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) is offering a free hunter safety course in Gadsden County.

The course will be at the Chattahoochee Recreational Center, 131 Oak St., in Chattahoochee.  Instruction will take place from 6 to 9 p.m. Oct. 16 and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Oct. 17.  The range portion of the class will be Oct. 18.

Students who have taken the Internet course and who wish to complete the classroom portion must bring the online completion report and attend only the Oct. 16 class from 6 to 10 p.m. and the Oct. 18 range day.

An adult must accompany children under 16 at all times. Students are encouraged to bring a pencil and paper with them to take notes, and they will need to bring their own drinks and lunch for the session Saturday.

The hunter safety course is required for anyone born on or after June 1, 1975, to purchase a Florida hunting license.  The FWC course satisfies hunter-safety training requirements for all other states and Canadian provinces.
