I'm in Fl and am interesting in getting a hunting license. My question is, will my ccw class count as a safety course? Thanks.
Fl hunting license

I am nearly positive you will have to take the hunter safety course.
If you want it faster you can find out who the local instructors are and find out if they will do a private class for you. when were you born? That is also a factor on not taking one. But it is the H.S. class card you need to present to buy a license if born after the OLD FOGIE clause date.

I sure hope not. My CWP class had nothing to do with all of the intricacies of hunting.

Correct! You are not required to have it but it is a very good use of a few dollars! I got my hunter safety course at 11 or so years old back before the 80's. While I am only a whipper snapper at 40 I have done plenty to age every quadrant of my body! What the doctors are calling "degenerative bone disease" is likely just NUMEROUS injuries to my spine.

I would add that much depends on your personal experience.
In my case all of the males hunted and my dad & uncles were WWII vets so I was off to a good start from the get go. A military acadamy and NRA sanctioned shooting classes added another layer as did military service.
If you've just decided that hunting might be a fun sport I'd recommend that you take the course. It's no longer just wandering around in the woods and shooting whatever runs in front of you.

Good point, I'm new to hunting, but not guns. 8 yrs in infantry and I have been shooting since I could walk. I normally go through about 50 to 100 rds a week, but these days thats very difficult. But my kids have gotten the hunting bug real bad, So ole dad needs to learn to hunt I guess.
I would spend every available moment out in the woods... ANY WOODS... looking, listening, smelling and tasting... (careful with that one...) before the hunting time. Take the kids as well. when you smell the heavy musky rank odor, that will be a boar hog...
Look at the scat and poke it with a stick etc. take pics and post them if you need help with identifying tracks and such. Have fun with it and keep us posted...
