About this Event:

This TRADITIONAL class is over two days, (Saturday full day), (Sunday morning half day).     You must attend both days.     This class is structured for students 10 years and older.      A DNR officer is also expected to review Michigan Hunting Regulations.        On completion you will receive your orange hunter education certificate card that is also good for out-of-state hunting.    This card can be taken to any location where hunting licenses are sold to purchase a license.      You will also be added to the state’s E-license database and be able to buy your Michigan license on-line.     Allow one to two weeks from class completion for an E-license.

About the Program

Overview:

The main purpose of the hunter education course is to train safe, legal and responsible hunters. Topics covered include understanding wildlife management, wildlife identification, ethics, laws and regulations, and firearms safety and handling.

How do I register my child for a class if they do not have an email address?  It is very common that the student looking to register for a class does not have an email of their own. To solve this predicament, we created a process called "Linking Accounts". By creating an account of your own and "linking" the student to that account, you now have the option to sign them up for a class with your own email. All communication about the event will be sent over to you making it easy to keep track of things.  Steps to create a linked account.
In order to purchase a hunting license in Michigan, an individual born on or after January 1, 1960, is required to successfully complete an approved hunter education course. Michigan’s traditional hunter education course is taught by a dedicated core of certified volunteer instructors and Michigan conservation officers.
