Hunting graduates

Doug Olsen, pictured, is one of 33 students who completed hunter education graduation requirements Feb. 4 following a field test. Of those students, 16 participated in the traditional in-person class and 17 in the combined online program with the mandatory field test. Students must show skills on the trap range, rifle range and in a simulated field hunt to pass. They must have a good attitude and show safety in firearm handling. The Ritzville Gun Club and local Washington State University Extension Office assisted with the program.
