The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation
Commission (FWC) is sponsoring a bowhunting field day in Jefferson
County on Sept. 18 for archers who have completed the online
National Bowhunter Education Foundation course.
The class runs from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Beau
Turner Youth Conservation Center, 9194 S. Jefferson Highway in
Monticello.
The class provides advanced instruction on such
topics as the fundamentals of bowhunting, safety, hunting
techniques, stalking, trailing and sportsmanship. Even though
it is not required in Florida, completion of a bowhunting class is
required in at least 14 other states before a hunter can purchase a
bowhunting license.
Participants must have completed the online portion
of the course and bring the official NBEF Field Day Qualifier
Voucher with them. In addition, participants should dress for
hunting and bring their own archery equipment, including bows and
arrows (field points or target points), pen or pencil and a packed
lunch.
People interested in attending this course can
register online and obtain information about future bowhunting
classes at MyFWC.com/HunterSafety or by calling the FWC's regional
office in Panama City at 850-265-3676.
