    I applaud the Florida Wildlife conservation commission for their effort. I hope the course includes acceptable hunting behavior. . I live in Baldwin County and it seems a common practice here to shoot deer while you are parked on a dirt road and then leave the bloody carcasses laying on the road. Never mind the trash and unsanitary conditions (no bathroom facilities) these dedicated hunters leave behind. Thank god another hunting season is over!

    How dumb to offer the course 6-10pm! As most participants are likely youth, it seems more logical to offer the course two consecutive nights 6-8pm. Even college courses seldom, if ever, run so late. FWC should reevaluate the vourse offerings.
