Idaho Fish and Game Offers New Online Course for Bowhunter Education
Boise, ID (PRWEB) March 24, 2015 -- Idaho bowhunters in need of bowhunter education certification now have the option of being certified online. The course is designed to help Idaho bowhunters sharpen their skills and learn safe in-the-field practices.
“The Internet course teaches the same curriculum taught in the bowhunter instructor-led course using the same student manual,” said Brenda Beckley, Hunter Education & Recruitment Manager for the Idaho Fish and Game Department. “This course is another option for our students. Our instructor-led courses will continue to be taught, as they are preferred by some students.”
What is new is that students now can get certified without attending a field day, but they can voluntarily attend the field exercise in an instructor-led course with prior coordination.
The Internet course is a self-paced, interactive teaching platform that accommodates all types of learners. Designed to be a fun and informative presentation of essential safety information, short videos cover topics such as bowhunting methods, tree stand safety and archery practice. The course teaches important skills such as blood trailing and distance estimation.
The Idaho-approved online bowhunter course allows students to study for free, only paying the $30 fee after they have successfully passed the final exam. The course was made to fit the learner’s schedule, with progress automatically saved so students can learn at their own pace. The course is also mobile friendly, allowing students to take it at any time using either their computer, smartphone, tablet, e-reader or Internet TV.
The Bowhunter Ed course is the official course of the National Bowhunter Education Foundation.
