Hunter Education Class Offered In Poplar

Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks Hunter Education course dates have been set for Poplar from 5-8 p.m. Aug. 16-20. The classes will take place at Poplar Middle School. All hunter education classes are free of charge.

For youth to be eligible to hunt and be fully certified during the 2021 season, hunters must be 12-years old by January 16, 2022. Students aged 10 and 11 can take a course and hunt as an apprentice but will not be fully certified until the year they turn 12. Preference will be given to 11 and 12-year olds (or older) if the class becomes full. All registrants for these events must be 10 years old by the first day of class.

All students must register online at register-ed. com/events/view/171492 or go to the FWP website: fwp. mt.gov, click on the “education” tab, then click “hunter education programs.” Next, “Find a class or field course” and search for the available class in your area. Detailed instructions on dates, times and other information will be found on the registration page. Many classes require students to pick up a manual and complete chapter quizzes before class begins.

Classes are starting up again across the region and more will be beginning soon. To find a class and register, go to fwp.mt.gov/education/ hunter-education. In-person classes are open to anyone age 10 and over. Students turning age 12 by Jan. 16, 2022, and older, can take hunter education online by going to the same site.
