The New Hampshire Fish and Game Department is urging prospective hunters to register now for Hunter Education classes ahead of fall hunting seasons.
Participants can sign up at wildlife.nh.gov by selecting in-person courses or starting the online option. All students must attend a required field day to complete certification; available dates are provided after finishing the online course. Walk-ins may be accepted if space allows, but pre-registration is recommended.
Hunter Education is required before purchasing a first New Hampshire hunting license. Anyone age 16 or older must have a license to hunt, and participants must be at least 12 to earn certification. The course includes firearms and archery training.
Hunters who previously purchased an Apprentice Hunting License must complete the course before buying a standard license.
More information is available online or by calling 603-271-3214.
