I took the hunter education course when i was 11 yrs old. I feel that that the hunter education course is a good thing to have because it teaches the a person what to expect in the feild. I am only 19 now and i am going to take the course again. i think a person should have to take the course to get any kind a license no matter how old the person. I feel this way because where I hunt is on public ground which is walkin only and all i see this year during deer season were people on four weelers driving throught the public land pushing deer through and trying to run them down. And I know from see that they are going to kill someone. If a person would have to go and get a hunter saftey card some of the hunting miss treatment would stop because people probably would appreciate hunting more. And could make the hunting enviroment safer for the young kids trying to get involved.
