Hunter safety education classes are commonly offered in the spring, ahead of spring turkey season, or in the fall before the firearm deer season.
“Just like preparing for school and fall extracurriculars, hunting season needs to be considered in advance,” said Lt. Tom Wanless, DNR recreational safety, education and enforcement supervisor.
There are four options for completing hunter safety education in Michigan, all of which require at least four hours of in-person instruction:
- Traditional classroom-based course.
- Online course followed by an in-person field day.
- Interactive online course followed by an in-person field day.
- Take-home study course followed by an in-person field day.
