Hunter Education

Hunting season is just around the corner. First time hunters, over the age of 10 and born after 1/1/1975, must successfully complete a hunter education course before being able to purchase a hunting license in the state of Idaho.  

DHI Director Gary Gillespie is certified in Hunter Education Instruction. He will be teaching class through the year. Please contact Idaho Fish and Game Hunter Education or Gary for more information.

Home study and Internet courses are available. The home study course requires that a workbook be completed before the range and field exercises. The Internet course requires completion of the Internet course and then the Range and Field exercise. All courses require the student to successfully complete the IF&G examination at the completion of the course before the completion certification is given.
