DNR INSTRUCTORS/SAFETY CLASSES

Hi to everyone out there well I completed my online Hunters Safety filled out the question and answer part, since I am prior Military it states I do not need to do the range part of the testing I printed out my voucher so I could take it to an instructor. The bad part is that some of the instructors I have called, emailed and even texted have not replied back. I dont need the course I believe all I need to take is my voucher, my dd214, the question and answer sheet, and a First Aid Kit for review and get a signature sign off. I am not required in the State of Minnesota to have a safety certificate since I was born in 78 but I would like to get it and my paid voucher is only good for a year I believe. I would also like to venture into hunting in other states...maybe.

I have been away from the forum due to the fact that I decided to go back to college and I finally obtained my Associates Degree in Criminal Justice- Police Officer and am volunteering in the Minneapolis Police Reserves.

Thanks for any info,

David Pena

I might be wrong here but you might actually have 2 issues at hand here. Your FAS and Advanced Hunter Ed cert.

Some states will require the FAS cert and others will require both the FAS cert. and the Advanced Hunter Ed certificate, depending on what other states you plan to hunt.

Personally, I would call the DNR office and explain your dilema. I would also check into the other states you plan to hunt to see if they require the Adv. Hunter Ed cert. More likely the mountain states like CO, MT and ID require the latter. But again, I could be wrong on this.

As far as I know most states just require a normal SAFETY HUNTERS CERTIFICATE like they do in the state of Minnesota. I have looked into a few states and they require just basic Safety Certificates. For example in Texas where I want to go I missed the cut off date by one year, down there I would need to have been born in 77 so that I wouldn't need one. In minnesota I am fine but as I said I want to get it and get it over with. In Wisconsin I believe I can get bye since I am prior Military and (i need to get a response from their DNR)might be exempt from needing a safety certificate. I do know that some states require a specific BOWHUNTERS EDUCATION certificate if hunting with a bow or Advanced certificate if doing special hunts.

The problem I am having is actually contacting anyone on the list of classes or instructors so that I can show up on their field/range day have the instructor look at my questions and answers see my voucher and sign off on my sheet so that I may get my certificate in the mail.

I'm having the same issue, although I have no military background. I completed my test online, filled out the written portion and now need to find an instructor who will review my material and get me certified. Frustrating when out of state lottery deadlines for this fall are soon approaching!

You probably could lol but Its not that big of a deal I am prior military and showed the instructor my DD214 plus my voucher and all the other questions I needed to fill out and He said all i needed after that was to take the 50 question exam and if I pass I will get my certificate bad part was that he forgot his Test so I have to meet up with him and hope that I get it done before any govt shut down if it happens lol.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
