Hunter Safety Trail

This is one of the four responsibility filed events. Participants will be challenged on a trail course. Their safety practices in handling a firearm in the field, their ethical hunting conduct and good judgment will be put to a serious test. This is one of the events that can be very hard to master. 

The Hunter Safety Trail has the maximum possibility of 300 points.

Key Points

The Hunter Safety Trail Challenge will be conducted with participants moving from station to station with each situation varying greatly. 
Participants may be tested and scored on the "do's" and "don'ts" of firearms safety and "shoot/don't shoot situations" encountered in a hunting environment. 
Stations may include, but are not limited to, hunter game situations, target identification, landowner relationships, and safe gun handling in the field.  
Participants may receive a "YHEC hunting license and regulations" at event check-in.
Participants may be required to be knowledgeable of game laws and bag limits. Know the difference between a safe shot and an ethical shot.
What is the first thing you should do when you encounter a Game Officer in the field?
