Post by: jennyfell55 on July 06, 2013, 04:08:24 PM: My understanding is first time hunters BORN after 1972 have to complete hunter's ed, so no, your dad would not have to.

Post by: steen on July 06, 2013, 10:04:05 PM: Classes in Lynden are a $5 donation for a one evening class/hands on. He is not required to take the class to hunt in Washington but if he ever wants to go out of state I would recommend getting it anyways. Some states require it regardless of what state you live in.

It was a $5 dollar donation, BUT was not given back at the end of the class. They did their speech about funds and then DID NOT give it back. I waited at the door to give the head instructor another $20. When I offered it he just nodded and said put it in the can over there. He did not thank me or seem very appreciative. Kind of a downer after the excitement of the whole class passing.

When I took our other son through HE it was $20. They lined everyone up, had them walk by the guy handing back the money and right up to the guy holding the donation can.
