A. All Area Coordinators have sets of air rifles and .22 rifles and most have access to shotguns for loan to instructors . In most cases , students receive college credit for their research activities and scholarship and in many cases work-study funds or faculty grants provide modest stipends . The funds collected by the federal government were made available to states solely for habitat restoration and rehabilitation , including the acquisition of land by purchase , lease or gift . In some disciplines , such as English , philosophy and history , students read original works or the primary literature and look for new connections between and interpretations of these writings . Instructors should remember that the primary goal of a hunter education course is learning . For species such as sage-grouse and Columbian sharp-tailed grouse , which gather on dancing grounds ( called “ leks ” ) , the dancing ground counts are also used to determine the trend in the population . Volunteer instructors are the primary reason hunter education in Oregon has been a success . On occasion , upland stamp funds may be used to help ODFW wildlife areas or habitat biologists purchase “ big ticket ” items such as a tractor or no-till drill if the habitat work done with equipment will benefit upland game birds . The ideal class size is between 8-15 students per instructor .
