Hunter safety education card

The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife require all first-time hunters purchasing their first Washington license and who are born after January 1st 1972 to take a mandatory Hunter safety 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.
