Fitchburg Sentinel, Friday, August 3, 1973 Field 'n Stream -Hunting Courses Planned This Fall By CHIP DONAHOO Arthur'" Brownell, the slate Commissioner of Natural Resources, is urging minors between 15 and 17 years oM to enroll in a DNR Hunter Safety Course before hunting this fall. The DNR, which began offering these classes in 1954, has since awarded some 53,000 certificates of competency to youngsters who have competed the course. Last year nearly 3,000 qualified in' the 110 courses which were offered across the state. Young hunters, in the Fitchburg area who would like to take such a course should write now to the DNR's Division of Law Enforcement at 100 Cambridge Street in Boston. Sherman Howard, who is in charge of the overall nrosram, wants as many young people as possible to take the course.

"We will be glad to give courses in any area where sufficient interest is shown, he said Howard believes that 95 percent of the. accidents which result from the use of firearms could be prevented and that's what this course is all about. The courses are all conducted by Natural Resource Officers, who serve as instructors. Each course consists of five separate sessions, each lasting about two hours. No more than 25 students are enrolled in each class.

During the first session students are taught the Ten Commandments of Safety and given other instructions concerning the safe handling of firearms. They learn the peculiarities of different types of firearms and ammunition. The second night's topics include the handling of firearms in the field and their cleaning and storage. The types of outdoor clothing required by hunters and other related subjects are discussed. The subject of the third night's instruction is not safety, but is very important.

The third session deals with the responsibility of the sportsman to his host, the landowner. An explanation of hunting privileges is giverjj stressing the need for respect for the property of others. The instructors cover a lot of ground in the fourth class, too. Among their topics are equipment, survival in the field, identification of targets, the use of map and compass, and hunting laws. The DNR has revised its course this year to include instruction in archery, which is taken up in the fifth session.

The increased interest in bow-and- arrow hunting has given rise to lessons in marfc- manship, archery equipment and the history of archery. At the end of the series of classes, the students complete a written examination of the material. Those who are issned a certificate of competency cmcrw as not only belter huiiters, bui also as better sportsmen. And that's important. "The safe handling of firearms and the exercise of greater respect toward the landowner will go a long way in perpetuating the privilege of public hunting in the Commonwealth," says Howard.
