It helped me out a lot because I could never get off to take the classroom course. I am really glad to see this step taken for people to take the course online. Thank you very much, otherwise I probably would of never taken it. Thanks again.2009-2011 Zoomerang Survey

In being new to hunting I learned so much more than expected while taking this course. Not only did I learn the fundamentals of hunter's safety, I also learned a lot of the basics and history behind hunting. I really enjoyed this course!2009-2011 Zoomerang Survey

I feel very uncomfortable in a class room so this test online allowed me to be comfortable and relaxed, too so I could concentrate more on the test and not the people around me. I enjoyed the online course, thank you!2009-2011 Zoomerang Survey
