Mandatory course for first-time hunters available to local residents
Instructors certified by the Department of Environmental Conservation will conduct a Hunter Safety Course August 17 and 20 at the North Star Sportsman’s Club in Hamlin. Those interested in attending need to register on-line through the NYS DEC website at: www.dec.state.ny.us or at www.register-ed.com/programs/new york (event manager).
All registered students can pick up the Student Manual at the Town of Parma Clerk’s Office located at 1300 Hilton Parma Corners Road, Hilton from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. The student should pick up the manual several days before the course starts (the homework is due the first night).
The free course is required for first time hunters who wish to obtain a New York State hunting license. Safe firearm handling combined with responsible and ethical hunter conduct will be covered.
A parent or legal guardian may need to accompany students younger than 16 years of age. Registration is handled on a first-come, first-served basis.
