Hunter safety education card

The Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife requires all hunters born on or after January 1, 1975 to complete a State approved Hunter Education Course.

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.
