Online Hunter Education Available to Adults – MFWP
Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks now offers hunter education on the Internet to anyone 18 years and older.
State law says everyone born after Jan. 1, 1985 must take hunter education before he, or she, can hunt in Montana. The course, which costs $15, is a chance for an adult to take the course at his or her convenience.
Though the coursework is completed online, students born after Jan. 1, 1985, must also take a short field course to receive their certification card. Students born before this date are not required to take the field course for certification.
At FWP’s Region 4 in Great Falls, there are several field course dates available this year for online students. Those dates are: Feb. 20, March 13, April 3, June 8, July 21, and Sept. 18. Other field days may be available elsewhere around the state.
Registration is only available on the Internet to those who successfully complete the online course, and space is limited. For more information on the online course and field course times and locations, go to the FWP website, www.fwp.mt.gov, and click on Education.
