Instructors

Volunteers are often well-established local citizens who can, and will, create local interest and involvement in the program. They know the local people, needs of the community, and when and where to set up local hunter education classes.

They have the desire to pass their knowledge and skills in hunting, outdoor safety, conservation and ethics onto others. Teaching and public speaking skills are beneficial but not required.

Without dedicated volunteers the Utah hunter education program could not exist.

To become a volunteer hunter education instructor a person must:

1. Read and understand the Hunter Education Policy Manual.
2. Complete the following:
• New Instructor Application
• Authorization for Criminal Background Check Form
