Hunter Safety
WWCCA will be offering four Michigan DNR Hunter Safety Classes in 2025, one in the spring and three in the fall. This is the class that is required to receive your Michigan DNR Hunter Safety Certificate. These classes are open to WWCCA members and non-members.
Although there is no age limit to attend, students should be old enough to understand the class material, big enough to handle a firearm safely, and MUST pass the exam to receive their certificate.
WWCCA will be hosting the on-site FIELD DAY event only. Students must complete the online portion of the course and present their course completion certificate at Field Day. The Field Day event is extremely informative, and taught by experienced and knowledgeable WWCCA instructors for beginners and seasoned hunters alike. It is also a MI DNR requirement, resulting in the certification card that allows a hunter to purchase a license.
PRE REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED. For more information, cost or to pre-register, contact Gordon Van Putten at 734-846-4303 or email gvpjr@aol.com.
