New hunters can take the first step to finding an adventure in the field by signing up for a hunter safety class. The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources says more than 20,000 people take hunter education courses in Wisconsin each year.
Anyone born on or after January 1, 1973, must complete a hunter education course and have a hunter education certification on file to purchase any hunting license in Wisconsin unless hunting under the Mentored Hunting Law. Anyone aged 17 and under must complete an in-person course.
Courses are available online or through traditional classroom settings.
For more information on course options, visit the DNR's Outdoor Skills Safety Education website.
