Hunter education classes are required for anyone born after January 1, 1975

Do you or someone you know need to take a hunter education course?

The Magic Valley Region will be offering an instructor-led hunter education class at the Magic Valley Regional Office, Hunter Education building, on Sept. 15-20. The five weekday classes will run from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. On Saturday, Sept. 20, the class will run from 9 a.m. to 1. p.m.

Remember, if a person wants to hunt this fall and they have never had a hunting license or taken a hunter education class, they will need to successfully complete a hunter education course before they can purchase a hunting license and tag.

Hunter education classes are required for anyone born after Jan. 1, 1975, who must complete a hunter education course as a prerequisite to purchasing an Idaho hunting license. Students must be at least 9 years old to take a hunter education class.

To sign up, go to the Fish and Game website, www.idfg.idaho.gov/education and select Hunter Ed in-person courses. Seats are limited, and fill quickly!
