Students will have three opportunities to take a Bowhunter Education class in Missoula this February. Students can elect to take a Saturday class Feb. 3, 10 or 17 from 8:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m. at the Missoula Fish, Wildlife & Parks (FWP) office, 3201 Spurgin Road.   Students taking one of these classes must also complete a half-day field course set for Saturday, March 3.

To register for a Feb. class, students must stop by the Missoula FWP office during normal business hours, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Classes are limited to 35 students, and registration is open until the class fills.   A parent or guardian must accompany students under 18 to register.  

By state law, all first time bowhunters must pass the bowhunter education course in order to purchase a bow and arrow license.   All bowhunters born after January 1, 1985 must also show proof of completing a hunter education program .

Six additional Missoula classes will be held in March, April and May. For more information or to request a copy of this schedule, contact the Missoula FWP office at 406-542-5500 or log onto the web site, fwp.mt.gov.   Follow links to “Education” and then   “Hunter Education.”
