A TWRA Hunter Education Course will be held at the Smithville Church of Christ on Friday and Saturday, August 28 & 29.
According to TWRA Officer Joe Fortner, the Friday class will be at 5:30 p.m. until 9:00 p.m. and Saturday from 8:30 a.m. until 4:00 p.m.
“Anyone who wants to hunt in the State of Tennessee born after January 1, 1969 must complete the course before they go hunting. You have to be nine years old before you can take the class,” said Fortner.
“Pre-registering for the class is the easiest way to sign-up. You can do that by going to www.tnwildlife.org. Click on the hunting section. That will bring you to the hunter education part of the website. You can sign up from there. If you don’t have access to the Internet and you show up for the class that will be fine. I prefer that you pre-register so that we will know how many to expect but if you don’t have access to the Internet that will be fine, just show up,” said Fortner.
