WCCD Announces New On-Line Hunter Education Class Option

The Washtenaw County Conservation District and the Department of Natural Resources has announced that a third official Michigan online hunter education course is now available HERE. A Michigan-based company, Hunter Ed Course offers its online hunter education course for $17.99. The course features lessons on safe, legal, and responsible hunting practices and uses narration, closed captioning, interactive exercises and photos that replicate what a hunter will see in the field.

As with all of Michigan's online hunter safety course options, after taking the online course, students are required to attend the field/skills day portion of a traditional class and take the student examination in order to receive their hunter safety certificates. Students will need to pre-register for the field/skills day before taking the online course. Upon passing the online course, they will be eligible to complete the field day with an instructor and take the written exam. Students can search for a class in their area and find more information about Michigan's hunter education program HERE. Michigan hunter education is required for all hunters born after Jan. 1, 1960 and a hunter safety certificate is required to purchase a Michigan hunting license.
