I recommend this course to anyone needing to get their hunter safety course done for hunting season. I liked that the course was easy to do from my iPhone and had apple pay. I don't like using my credit card online. If you are needing to do the course, this one saves your progress as you go, so you can take a break if needed and the videos were pretty short. Overall I give my experience a 10/10!

Great way to get your hunter's safety certificate! I have been putting off doing this for a while now because I thought it would be a headache. This course made it extremely convenient. I was able to do a few sections a night over the course of 2 and 1/2 days and got it done. The information was very clear and covered all of the safety and rules for hunting. Will definitely recommend this course to others!

A Hunter Education Certificate and a Hunting License serve different purposes in the United States. A Hunting License is essential for anyone, irrespective of their age or place of residence, who aims to hunt any animal, bird, frog, or turtle in the state. Distinct licenses need to be obtained and carried based on the hunter's age, residency status, and the species of the game being hunted. There might also be specific exceptions related to the particular game animal being pursued.

On the other hand, a Hunter Education Certificate is a requirement for hunters who are aged 9 years or above. This certificate is required when purchasing a hunting license, acting as a proof of the hunter's understanding and knowledge about safe and responsible hunting practices. You can be fined up to $500 for not having a Hunter Edication Certificate.

A Hunter Education Certificate signifies that the holder has acquired the necessary knowledge and skills to ensure safe, responsible, and ethical hunting within the USA. 

Hunters must be at least 9 years old to complete their Hunter Education Course. Note that Hunters between the age of 9-16 will need to follow up the online course with an in person field day. You can register for the Field Day on the Texas Parks and Wildlife Website. We only offer the youth course in Texas. If you are not in Texas and looking for a YOUTH course, please look at your local wildlife deparment website.

 If you are 17 AND OLDER you are only required to complete the online Hunter Education Course. Your certificate will be valid in all 50 US States, Canada, and Mexico.
