Sportsman Education Classes

Update ~ May 9, 2008

Now that the spring turkey season has begun, there will be fewer Hunter education courses available. More classes will be scheduled in the late summer and early fall in preparation for the fall hunting seasons. If you are interested in taking a course, and none are listed in your area, please check surrounding counties, or call a DEC Regional Sportsman Education Office for assistance.

All new hunters, bow hunters and trappers must pass the appropriate course before getting their first license. Students must attend all sessions, demonstrate proper attitude and safety, and pass the test. A hunter education course is required for all new hunters applying for a license. To hunt big game with bow and arrow, a special bow hunting course is required in addition to the basic hunter education course. A trapping course is required for all new trappers. For most people, a license is required, even to hunt woodchucks and other "varmints" with no closed seasons. Consult hunting regulations for season areas and dates.

All courses are free. New York's Sportsman Education Programs are supported in part by Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration, funded by your purchases of hunting equipment. Additional funding comes from sales of hunting and trapping licenses. Hunters and trappers pay for Sportsman Education and wildlife conservation.

Equal opportunity to participate in and benefit from Hunter Education programs is available to all individuals without regard to their race, color, national origin, sex, age or handicap. Complaints of discrimination should be sent to the Office of Equal Opportunity, U.S. Department of the Interior, Office of the Secretary, Washington, D.C. 20240. Complaints of any nature about courses may be made to the Sportsman Education Program. Call toll-free 1-888-HUNT-ED2.
