I don't think you can purchase a tag without proof of hunter ed.  This always seemed a bit silly that a service members, or prior service members, who had way more firearms training than most idiots walking the woods with a rifle in hand, have to perform the field test for the hunting license.  Completion of the online hunter ed. course seems to cover the hunting information that prior service members need to ensure they are educated in the topics specific to hunting.

Regardless, hope you catch that deer!

Hmmmm, maybe that's how I thought that up so easily!  :chuckle: 

Thanks Bob!

FYI there is quite a bit more in the courses than firearm safety (regulations, conservation, field care of animals, landowner access, etc.) so it makes sense for everyone under a certain age to be required to go through the course. I'll add as a personal comment that I've been teaching for many years, and learn something new in every course.

Understood.  I completely concur.  There is a lot of value in the class beyond firearm safety.
