The Lafourche Parish Sheriff’s Office will host two FREE Hunter Education Field Days in September for anyone age 10 or older who has completed the home study course.

The first Field Day will take place on Wednesday, September 25, 2019 from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the LPSO Shooting Range located at 3451 Highway 182 in Raceland. Click here to register for this course.

The second Field Day will take place on Saturday, September 28, 2019 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the LPSO Shooting Range. Click here to register for this course. 

As an alternative to the traditional two-day classroom course, a Home Study Course is available online through the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries website. Those who complete the home study course MUST take their completion voucher to a “Field Day” to complete their hunter education. Entry to the Field Day will be denied unless the completed forms are presented. There will be a written test required to complete the Field Day. Class size is limited. Advance registration is required.

Firearms and ammunition should NOT be brought to this course, but snacks are permitted. For more information, or for assistance with online registration, call the LPSO Training Academy at (985) 387-4480 weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., or email Lieutenant Nolan Smith at nolan-smith@lpso.net.
