Maryland Hunter Education

The goals of Maryland's Hunter Education Programs include the reduction of hunting accidents and violations; promotion of safe, responsible and knowledgeable hunting activities and to continue the traditions of the hunting experience. In 1966 Maryland started with a voluntary program of hunter education. In 1977, the Maryland legislature made it mandatory for all first time hunters to complete a hunter education course.

The Cresap Rifle Club has a team of certified volunteer Maryland hunter education instructors that are available to teach you the fundamentals of a safe hunting experience. The club holds several classes a year that are available to the general public. The Cresap Rifle Club does not charge a fee for the classes and all program material is included.
