Hunting license/hunter education question

[Bob33]

License years run April 1 through March 31.

The odds of you being able to purchase a license if you are born after 1/1/72 are about slim and none.  Remember the hiker shot by the 14 year old hunter?  Well, guess what: lots of restrictions were asked for.  There were many calls to ban youths from hunting at all.  It's fortunate that more changes weren't implemented.

Just sign up for a hunter education class.  The cost is minimal and you will most likely enjoy it.  If you've got as much experience as you say, you may even want be an instructor.  It's a great way to pass along knowledge to new hunters.

Seawalker, looks like you will need to take the class. I took the class again as my kids did their first time last year and learned a ton. Consider it a good thing.....

I think everyone should be required to take the course regardless of age or experience.

I took the course when i was 8 and bought a hunting license in WA every year from the time i was 9 until i moved to idaho 2 years ago, so i bought 14 hunting licenses in WA but somewhere along the way WA lost their record of my hunter ed, so now if i ever want to hunt WA again it sounds like ill have to retake the course
