Hunter ed

Hunter education courses are open to registration in several communities across northwest Montana, including Kalispell and Bigfork. Registration is free and available online at fwp.mt.gov/education/hunter. Students may be required to pick up materials and complete the course manual before the first class. Dates, locations and specific instructions for each class, as well as contact information for the instructors, are available in the class descriptions online. A student must be at least 10 years old to register for Montana Hunter Education courses. Students ages 10-11 can take the course and hunt as an apprentice but will not be fully certified until the year they turn 12. There is no maximum age limit for hunter education. Students must attend all classroom sessions, the field course and pass a final exam. Anyone age 18 or older can complete an online course but must still attend a field course to become certified.
