Also, looks like AZGFD compiled the new hunter resources under one page just recently. Check out https://www.azgfd.com/hunting/mentoredcamps/

Welcome aboard

Welcome from a fellow AZ-newbie. I'm new to the AZ hunting scene as well and pretty much self taught in the limited hunting experience I have too, so I know what you mean about the overwhelming bit jumping into this lifestyle. I've learned a lot from content Randy and folks on this forum have put together.

I would recommend it. It has gun safety but plenty of basic hunter knowledge and ethics. You can take the online version and then do an in person field day to sign off on the test. In AZ you receive a permanent bonus pt for completion so definitely worth it. FYI they are working through getting kids signed off from the past year of backlog since they canceled all the field days last year due to covid. It might be a few months before you can get into a field day as an adult.

Well I did take the online portion now so I will be ready when they open the field days back up eventually. So thanks for that advice!

If you need help with the regs give me a shout, I’m happy to answer questions or walk you through it.

Thank you! I was thinking about doing spring Javelina for my first time. Any experience with that?
