Completed the HTE Course today!

My 2 friends and I took the course this weekend and received our certification cards a few hours ago. The class for me, from a firearms perspective, wasn't really informative. I already knew everything they went over, except some info about muzzle loaders, which I'm actually now pretty interested in getting into. Flintlock specifically

Other than the firearms aspect, everything else was informative and pretty interesting. I really enjoyed the conservation aspect and didn't realize how much hunters played into it.

There was probably about 40 people at the class. About 10 adults and 30 kids, between 11 and 14 it appeared for the most part. Most of them were good but there was a small group, who unfortunately were sitting by me that would not STFU the entire time. Hopefully they continue to be obnoxious and don't kill any deer this year

ETA: Anyone in monroe county have some property with groundhogs they want taken care of, or some crows?
We're going to pick our licenses up tommorow.

Congrats!

Your best bet for finding ground hog hunting is going knocking on doors at farms and ask permission
