Hunter safety education card

The Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection requires all hunters who are hunting for the first time, who do not currently hold a hunting license, or do not have hunting license issued from another state or province within the last two hunting years to successfully complete a Hunter Education Course prior to purchasing Hunting License.

Become a safe hunter

The purpose of hunter education is to develop knowledge, skills, and behaviors necessary to become safe, responsible hunters.

The online course

Typically, students meet these needs by attending a traditional, instructor led course including classroom lectures and field/range experiences. In today's society, students have less free time to devote to attending a hunter education course. Online hunter education courses help address this, by allowing students to take hunter safety courses on their own time, at their own pace and in the comfort of their home or office.
