HUNTING ACADEMY

From Hunter Education to your first successful hunt.

The WAW Hunting Academy is designed to help new and aspiring hunters build the knowledge and confidence needed for a successful time in the field. Through beginner-friendly classes covering topics like regulations, species, scouting, and outdoor skills, you'll gain the foundation to get from the classroom to the wild.

Do I need to have completed Hunter Education?

Not always! Some classes are open to everyone, while others may recommend or require Hunter Education. Each class description will list any prerequisites.

If you would like to get your CA hunter education, we teach out of Middletown Ca 95461, and it is through the state: https://www.register-ed.com/programs/california/160?zip=95451&distance=50

I'm completely new to hunting. Is this for me?

Absolutely! The Hunting Academy is designed with beginners in mind. Many of our classes are built specifically for those who want to learn but aren't sure where to start.

Are these classes hands-on?

It depends on the class. Some courses are classroom-style, while others may include outdoor demonstrations or field exercises. Each class description will explain what to expect.

Can experienced hunters take these classes?

Yes! While many classes are beginner-focused, experienced hunters often attend to sharpen their skills, learn about new species, or better understand California regulations.
