Glades Offering Hunter Safety Course

MOORE HAVEN, FL. -- The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) will host a free hunter safety course Jan. 7 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. in Glades County, Florida.

Students will learn about hunting laws, safe gun handling and hunter ethics/responsibility, among other topics, before taking the final test. The course also includes live-firing instruction on a shooting range.

The course is at the Glades County Sheriff's Office Shooting Range near Moore Haven, on Gun Club Road (north of the city barn). If you are coming from Moore Haven, it is three miles north of U.S. 27 on State Road 78. From Lakeport, the range is six miles south, on the west side of S.R. 78, near the Fisheating Creek entrance.
