Overview
In New Brunswick, all first-time hunters as well as persons born on or after January 1, 1981 are required to complete Firearm Safety / Hunter Education training before they may hunt in the province.
Adults who have previously completed Firearm Safety Training (Part A) only may opt to challenge the Hunter Education (Part B) exam instead of taking the classroom version of this course.

Description

Participants are strongly encouraged to review the Atlantic Canada Hunter Education (Part B) Student Manual and the current year Hunt and Trap book prior to testing. Printed versions of the student manual and Hunt and Trap book are available from any Department of Natural Resources and Energy Development office or SNB Service Centre.
