I am a resident of Idaho who is Active Duty Marines stationed in California and currently deployed to the Middle East. I am going to take the online portion of Hunters education but making it to a field day is almost impossible. When I get back I will have maybe 3 or 4 days in Idaho to visit family, friends, and hunt. Is there any sort of exemption for the Hunter's Education field day?
Answer:
To certify in hunter education you must take our instructor-led in class course OR the online course and the in class field day.
The field day is mandatory for everyone. The field day includes a written examination and field exercise examination. Students must show and demonstrate their knowledge of safe hunting practices, hunting ethics, wildife identification and hunting laws at the field day by passing a written examination and field exercise. Military service is not an exemption for hunters education.
If you have held a hunting license in another state you are eligible to purchase a hunting license in Idaho.
