Perfect timing for brushing up on your safety knowledge before the hunting season kicks off.
Mark your calendars for August 2, and September 6. The courses will take place at 911 Law Enforcement Way, St. Augustine, FL, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. As announced in a recent social media post from the St. Johns County Sheriff's Office, this is an opportunity for you to get trained, or get a refresher, directly from the experts, no matter if you're a novice or a seasoned hunter.
These courses aren't just a formality, they are a critical component of responsible hunting practices. Statistically, they have been known to decrease accidents and fatalities in the field. Becoming acquainted with the latest safety protocols not only protects the individual hunter but also ensures a safer environment for everyone out in the wilderness.
