AZ hunter education bonus point

[WapitiBob]

These classes are posted on multiple forums when they open up.

0 of 30 seats left. Is this the only guy that does it? Same story as the last three times, can I get on a mailing list or get in the draw system to get into this class? How many bonus points before I can draw the class for the bonus point? Geeze.

There is also the option of doing the online exam, once you have passed the online you then have 1 year to also complete a field day class somewhere in Arizona to officially get your card and permanent bonus point. There is usually a few field days each month, posted on the game and fish site that you can get scheduled for. They continually update the list as new classes are released, but they usually fill up quickly, especially before the draw... Don's class isn't the only way to do it...

Ha! That's hilarious.

Sorry...meant to include the quote. The quip about needing a bonus point to get the bonus point was awesome.

I just finished this up today in Phoenix. For those of you thinking about taking it this way here are a few pointers.

Pay attention to the material when you do the online portion, refresh yourself self before you start the hands on.

Remember that this is based off from your average 12 year old thought process, don’t over think the questions or scenarios.

They are not there for instruction and they do fail people. I watched two get the walk of shame today.

It is a good program and the volunteers who run it are a bunch of good guys. I would recommend it.

True, it's frustrating not to be able to sign up for a notification. If I recall correctly, an AZ hunters ed hotline message states that courses are updated on their website every Tuesday.

I'm guessing I was chatting with you by the bleachers when we were waiting to shoot. Either that or another guy from Michigan was there. I was getting ready to ask around if there were any Hunttalkers there.

Another tidbit to help get in a class. Even if it says full and not taking backup lists anymore, find the instructors email and ask him if there is room. I lucked out and he let me in one that was already full.
good luck.

Yep, that was me. It was kinda funny, after you went and shot the guys that came up next was talking about his short term, mid term,and long term strategy for hunting elk every Year. Think he listened to Randy a few times.

Spots still open for March 24th. Good luck.

There are other courses offered. This link: https://www.register-ed.com/programs...oint-field-day
has 3 classes, all are full, and they are only 1.5 hours long. The other course that Don is running is an entire day. I called Jim Rich who is putting on the short courses to see if he knew of any courses coming up in May, when I will be there for vacation, and they don't schedule out that far in advance, you just need to regularly check the website for new class offerings.
