Our instructors provide a two day, in-depth course designed to introduce the shooter to the legal deployment of the shotgun during lethal encounters involving dangerous wildlife. Wildlife defense options are integrated into the training and include bear aware basics, identification of species and habitat, encounter avoidance and survival, safe firearms handling, legal articulation for actions taken, and medical treatment for possible injuries sustained due to wildlife encounters. Our course creates a progression of learning and skill building with repetition so our students progress at a reasonable speed for their abilities while maintaining a high level of safety for all personnel present. All of our instructors are former police or military firearms instructors.
