will focus on strategies for recruiting new volunteer
instructors, implementing field days for online students,
and improving landowner relations and hunter ethics
within the curriculum.
FWP solicited applications for the committee and
chose 23 members representing all parts of the state. The
group will review the manuals, online programs and field
day outlines, and develop actionable recommendations
for Worsech and the hunter/bowhunter education staff
to implement.
Starting in 2024, FWP will require a field day for
all hunter and bowhunter education students under 18,
including those taking the course online.
