I can't remember the last time I heard of a bad hunting accident that would have been prevented by a hunter ed class. You can't teach common sense and you can't fix stupid.

Statistics show a nation wide decrease in hunting incidents since Hunter education started. You should thank a hunter education instructor for helping make that happen.
Washington has gone to an on-line option as well. A 4 hour class and skills evaluation is still required. We are also now registering for classes on-line only. Several instructors have quite because of the registration changes. It seems we are also headed for an all on-line class eventually. Most of the instructors I know, myself included, don't like the idea. I would be ok with it if there was an age limit ( you must be 21 years old to take the on-line only class) some things can not be evaluated over the computer.
