This manual is dedicated to the hundreds of volunteers who serve as hunter education instructors in Montana. These dedicated men and women give freely of their time, knowledge, and experience to assist Montana’s to become safe, responsible, and involved stewards of our wildlife and hunting heritage. To all of our instructors in the state, we owe a continuing debt of gratitude.
