Hunter Ed Offered In Wolf Point

Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks Hunter Education course dates have been set in several communities across Region 6. All in-person hunter education classes are free of charge. Area classes begin April 1 in Saco, April 15 in Malta and April 17 in Wolf Point.

In-person, instructor-led hunter education classroom courses are available to anyone age 10 and older and provide new hunters with a hands-on learning experience. In-person courses are led by volunteer instructors who are passionate about preserving Montana’s hunting tradition, teaching firearm safety, ethics and other outdoor skills.

For youth to be eligible to hunt and be fully certified during the 2024 season, hunters must be 12-years old by Jan. 16, 2025. Students aged 10 and 11 can take an in-person course and hunt as an apprentice, but will not be fully certified until the year they turn 12.

Students must be registered prior to attending a class. To find a class and register and for more details and information about the class, go to https://fwp.mt.gov/ hunt/education/hunter. Make sure to print, read and sign any necessary paperwork ahead of the class and note any necessary information. Most classes require students to pick up a hunter education manual and read the chapters and complete chapter quizzes before class begins.
