New hunter education course allows students to complete coursework online
before attending Field Day training session

LANSING, Mich., July 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Michigan is the latest state to adopt
the HunterExam.com interactive hunter education course as an option to prepare
for hunting certification. The new HunterExam online course allows students to
complete coursework online before attending required classroom and hands-on
field course training needed to obtain their Michigan hunter education
certificate.

"We commend Michigan for implementing the HunterExam program to help educate
today's hunters," said Kerry Moher, vice president of HunterExam.com.  The
interactive online coursework allows participants to complete a number of the
required course sections and hours at home. "Students can register for free
and our customized exam center will keep track of their progress as they move
through the Michigan Course. Students appreciate the chance to login and out
at any time, and pick up right where they left off."

With an emphasis on safety and responsibility, the HunterExam.com program
focuses on reducing hunting incidents through coursework presented in a
narrative fashion with more than 350 original illustrations, 30 interactive
exercises (powered by HE Tools(TM)), followed by review questions and
discussion points. Students also have access to HunterExam.com's industry
exclusive toll-free customer service help line from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m.
(eastern), seven days a week, as well as its live online chat customer service
feature.

Sgt. Jon Wood, Hunter Education program supervisor, Michigan Department of
Natural Resources, emphasizes that "instructor-led Field Days remain a crucial
part of the HunterExam process but the online course is a convenient way for
students to complete the required course sections and chapter quizzes at home
so more hands-on training can be conducted at the Field Day."

HunterExam.com also offers the only treestand safety course based on the
latest guidelines developed by the Treestand Manufacturers Association. This
new, fully interactive, narrative course effectively engages students and is
only 15 minutes long. The treestand safety course is free to anyone with an
Internet connection at www.hunterexam.com/treestandsafety.

Students may visit HunterExam.com to view the site free of charge. The online
course costs $24.95 to complete and to receive a Field Day voucher. The
student must then successfully complete the Field Day with a Michigan hunter
education instructor in order to obtain their Michigan hunter education
certificate. For more information visit www.hunterexam.com/usa/michigan.
