Montana Hunters Saftey Coarse

  Montana's program follows the standards established by the International Hunter Education Association.  To purchase a Montana hunting license, any person born after January 1, 1985 must show a certificate of completing a hunter education course.  Hunter education is NOT required if you were born on or prior to January 1, 1985.
 
 A student must be at least 11 years old to become certified in hunter education. This minimum age requirement ensures that the student is mature enough to understand the course material and physically strong enough to handle hunting equipment during class.

  There is no maximum age limit.Any one is welcome to take the course, especially parents who want to accompany their child. Classes are a minimum of 12 hours in length. You must attend all of the sessions and pass a final exam to become certified and a field course typically completes the program.

Any Montana youth 12–17, who completes hunter education, is eligible to receive their FIRST hunting license absolutely free. That's pretty cool why are other states not doing that?

  Ive taken the coarse three times once when I was 12, 2nd time with my two nephews and this time with my daughter. The instructors are all great and for the most part all volunteers. You will enjoy taking the class at least once. Don't forget to wear your hunters orange, in most states its the law for kids under 18 to wear hunter orange when there in the field.

View the online schedule to see when and where a class is being offered in your area. If you can't find what you're looking for please contact FWP regional offices directly.

 TAKE A KID HUNTING OR FISHING THIS YEAR AND MAKE SOME GREAT MEMORY'S THAT LAST A LIFE TIME!
