Take Your Hunters Safety Course Before You Hit The Woods This Weekend

Turkey season begins this week, and hunters in need of the Georgia hunter education course have two options – completely online or a classroom course, according to the Georgia Department of Natural Resources’ Wildlife Resources Division.

Completion of a hunter education course is required for any person born on or after January 1, 1961, who: purchases a season hunting license in Georgia,
is at least 12 years old and hunts without adult supervision, and hunts big game (deer, turkey, bear) on a wildlife management area.

The four available online courses each require a fee but all are “pass or don’t pay” courses. Fees for these courses are charged by and collected by the independent course developer..
