HUNTER ED GRADUATES GET FREE 3-MONTH PASS TO RANGES
Hunter education graduates can “give it a shot” with a free three-month pass to any of the 18 Department of Natural Resources (DNR) shooting ranges in Georgia. Typically, a wildlife management area license ($19) or other qualifying license would be required for shooters age 16 and up.
“A recent study of hunter education graduates showed that 26 percent of them did not purchase a hunting license within the first year of passing the test,” said Walter Lane, hunter development program manager. “When they don’t get the chance to hunt right away, we may lose a hunter. This range pass is an immediate way to invite them out to give it a shot. They can test out their shooting skills while keeping their enthusiasm strong.”
How will it work? It’s easy. At the conclusion of their class, each student receives their hunter education certification card. The graduation date, listed on the card, is the beginning of their three-month shooting range pass. They just need to show the card at the range. Students will also receive information about the use of the pass and where to find participating ranges during their classroom time.
