I habe actually taken them three times.

Once in high school, as a member of the Rod and Gun club, (it was an an elective class, cool huh?) the hunter safety course was part of our grade.

Second was when I was about 26, my wife and I moved to Georgia and I took it again because it was going to be faster to take the course and get my card than it would be to receive a new card .

Third time was back here in Kentucky when my nephew and my son took it. I went ahead and took it again just to go through it with them.
