2011 Bowhunter Education Dates

[fish-on37]

Just putting this out there for those who will need it to hunt out of state this year. Its also a great course for those just getting into it. There will be 2 classes this year at KBH Archers in Belfair,WA. The first class will be held on April 9-10. The second class will be held July 9-10. Please contact Walt Waldon for more info at (360) 620-6634.

is this an addition to the standard hunters ed certs?  or is this needed to hunt with a bow out of state even though I have a hunters ed card?

[fish-on37]

Correct me if I am wrong, certain states require bowhunter education. MT,AZ I believe are a couple. I have not hunted there but you will either need this course or a previous years archery hunting lic. I never looked into it that much because I don't put in for those states. Hopefully someone on here can clarify that better then me.

Every state is different with respect to hunter education requirements.  It is important to check the regulations for the state you wish to hunt. I know that archery education is not required to archery hunt in Washington or Wyoming.

I am pretty sure Idaho also requires a Bow Hunter course. Not 100% sure though.

I am pretty sure Idaho also requires a Bow Hunter course. Not 100% sure though.

"To buy an archery permit, all bowhunters must possess a
valid hunting license and show proof they have completed
an approved bowhunter education course or show
evidence of having been licensed for an archery-only hunt
in Idaho or another state, or complete an affidavit to that
effect."
