Official California Hunting Safety Course Link to California Department of Fish and Game

Hello, hunter! California's online hunting course has moved. Click here to go to the latest version of the Today's Hunter in California course—the official hunting safety course of the California Department of Fish and Game .

The following course material is for reference only. Please go to the new course to complete your California certification.

Match Firearms and Ammunition...WARNING!

Smaller shotshells (such as 20-gauge shells), if mistakenly fed into a 12-gauge gun, will slip past the chamber and lodge in the barrel, causing serious personal injury or gun damage if a 12-gauge shell is loaded and fired. Some rifle and handgun ammunition also may fit into the wrong gun, creating a dangerous obstruction. The caliber or gauge stamped on the end of the shell must match that stamped on the gun barrel. Some barrels are not stamped. Be sure the right ammunition is used in your gun.
