Bowhunter Education Classes Have Ended

Print

All Bowhunter Education classes ended July 31, and no more classes will be taught until after January, 1998. Regulations state that: o All resident youth, 12 through 17 years of age, are required to present a Montana Hunter Education Certificate when purchasing any hunting license. These same youths also are required to present a Montana Bowhunter Education Certificate to purchase a Bow and Arrow License. o Adult bowhunters must show a previous year’s license that allowed them to bowhunt in any state or province or a certificate from the Bowhunter Education course. Those bowhunters who cannot show proof of holding any prior year’s license must complete a Bowhunter Education class. The only exception would be that those bowhunters who possessed the immediate prior year’s bowhunting license from any state or province can purchase a 1996 duplicate/affirmation (for a $5 fee) and use the duplicate to purchase a 1997 stamp. This applies to both resident and nonresident hunters.
