The New York Department of Environmental Conservation hosts Sportsman Education Courses throughout the year. These courses are free and are taught by DEC-certified instructors. The courses teach people how to be safe, responsible, and ethical hunters. The Hunter Education is required for all first-time hunters using any firearm or archery equipment to hunt big game, small game, turkey, waterfowl, and migratory game birds. Additional courses are available for bowhunters, trappers, waterfowl, and crossbow. For more information regarding class schedules, visit the Department of Environmental Conservation website.
