In-person hunting education will be taking place in various locations around the state this year.  All new hunters who plan to head out this fall regardless of whether or not you know someone who hunts should consider signing up for a course. There is actually a mandatory hunting class for all new hunters that the state requires you to take before issuing you a license.

Like any other class, this one does have some homework that you are required to do before you get to class or a field session. You will be asked to show proof that you complete the homework before you can participate in the class.

The NYS DEC has an online registration system that makes it easy to register and to see all the classes that are being offered. To locate a nearby hunter education course visit DEC's website: https://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/92267.html
