The One Shot Hunter program, which builds on the basic hunter education program,
is designed to help young hunters develop good hunting and shooting skills and
prepare them for a lifetime of hunting. All you have to do is to try your best to
take either an elk, deer, or antelope with a single shot
fired from a gun (rifle or shotgun) and according to the hunter code.
The One Shot hunter program is open to first-time big game hunters. Names of participants are drawn at random from the roster of students who completed hunter education that year. Enrollment occurs on a first-come first served basis. Participation is limited based on the funds available to FWP to purchase the free One Shot hunter caps. If you have not received an application in the mail but are interested, you may contact us at 444-3188. Depending on the participation we've received to date, there may be an opportunity to still enroll as long as you sign up prior to your actual hunt.
There is a long tradition in North America of honoring hunter excellence. It takes
knowledge, skill, patience, and the right approach to be a One Shot Hunter. The One Shot
Hunter knows how to get close to an animal, is skilled at placing a killing shot, waits
for the right moment to fire, and takes pride in being a good hunter. Nearly all
experienced hunters know how a poorly placed shot can ruin an otherwise good hunt.
