Avoid the rush for hunter education
The calendar still reads July, but the fall bird hunting seasons begin in a month.
Those hunters who applied for a big game tag should already have their hunter education card, but there may be some who have yet to take the class.
For hunters who fall into this category, as well as those who are simply new to hunting, the Nevada Department of Wildlife is currently offering Hunter Education courses.
A list of scheduled classes and related information is available online at www.ndow.org.
Students must pre-register for the class and then obtain and complete a Hunter Education workbook before showing up for class.
If the book is not completed, the student will not be permitted to enter the class.
The cost is $5 at the door.
In the Las Vegas area, students can register by calling Martin Olson, 486-5127, Ext. 3501.
