It won’t be that long until hunting season. Now it the time to think about hunter safety classes. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources provides regular classes that even the seasoned hunter can learn from. “Though classes are held throughout the year, we offer more of them in late summer and early fall,” said Capt. Mike Hammer, DNR Enforcement Education Program coordinator. “So now is the time to sign up and complete a course, because once the hunting season gets rolling, it might be too late.”

For all hunters, the Injuryboard members have provided gun safety and hunting tips in the past. For each hunt with young hunters , it’s important that the supervising adult be vigilant. Every hunter needs to watch out for themselves and that everyone in their hunting party their gun properly and safely.
