Hunters Education Course Help

[S13tsilvia]

Hi All

Are any hunter education courses valid in Wyoming that you can do completely online? reading through their website it doesn't say anything about it being possible?

Any state will work.


Find a state that has it all online.

Not sure if its changed since Covid, but my friend looked into this last year, he could do it all on-line via another state, but check Wyoming accept it from another state.

With Covid, several states are waiving the in-person field day portions for state residents. Washington state is one, and I believe theirs is open to non-residents as well. I would check to see if Wyoming accepts that one (I would guess they do, but at one time there were a couple of states that wouldn’t accept from a couple of other states for some weird reason. Unlikely but possible).

Yes, I'm pretty sure NY just waived the in-person requirement because of Covid. However, the person in question has to be at least 12 to take the NY course. I had my kids take the Vermont course online because they were under 12 at the time, but that had an in-person day and I'm not sure that's been waived there.

In your situation, and since it doesn’t expire, I would consider going ahead and taking advantage of an opportunity to take a fully online course now since they are available. Normally I *think* nearly every state requires an in-person field day (with the possible exception of adult residents).

I moved to WY last spring from OK. OK has an all online course that will take you a solid 8 hours to complete. Print your certification off when complete. All 3 of my kids did it online. It was just as good as the in class course I took over 20 years ago in CA.

Sweet I will look it up

I did an in-person course early this year, but this was before SHTF with Covid-19. AFAIK they do offer a hybrid course which consists of an online classroom portion followed by a single "range day" in person instruction. Its possible WG&F may have waived the "range day" requirement because of the pandemic, but don't quote me on that.

Seriously though I'm glad I did my course when I did, because the lockdowns started less than a week or two after the last class.

Texas is 100% online as well. I forgot the website, but link to it through the Texas parks and wildlife. I believe the site I did it was multi state
