February 6, 2018

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) is offering free hunter safety courses in two additional counties in February and march.

All firearms, ammunition and materials are provided free of charge. Students should bring a pen or pencil and paper. An adult must accompany children younger than 16 at all times.
