- Hunter Safety Trail Challenge: participants or teams will walk through a predetermined trail designed to simulate actual hunting conditions and situations. The participants will be required to demonstrate their knowledge of hunter safety on this practical field course.
- The Hunter Safety Trail Challenge will be conducted with the participants moving from station to station with each situation varying greatly. Participants may be tested and scored on the Do's and Don'ts of firearm safety and shoot/don't shoot situations encountered in a hunting environment. Stations may include, but are not limited to, hunter game situations, target identification, landowner relationships, and safe gun handling afield.
- Each participant and/or team will travel to a maximum of 10 stations with each station worth 30 or more points for a correct action and zero for an incorrect action. The Hunter Safety Trail Challenge has a possibility of 300 points.
- A ten point penalty, per designated station, will be assessed if a participant or team violates safety rules.
- No hunter education books or other written, taped, or transcribed material can be used in this activity. Also, no talking will be allowed between the participant and instructor or other participants while on the course.
