The Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) will host the field day portion of the free hunter safety course on May 17, 2008 in Hendry. Participants must have completed the hunter safety web course and must have the printout of the final report.

Participants will spend half the day in the classroom and half in the field. They will learn about current laws, safe gun handling, and outdoor ethics before taking the final test. The safety course also includes live-firing instruction on a shooting range.

The free safety course is:
