WA Hunting Education: Complete for your 2024 Hunting Seasons
A little about me, I used to work at a sporting goods store, for about 7 years. I would sell hunting and fishing licenses to all walks of life. From residents, visitors to the first-time buyers.
Where can I buy a hunting and or fishing license?
What if I don’t have my Hunters Safety? Is It required?
“All individuals born after Jan. 1, 1972 must show proof of completing their hunter education certification before purchasing their first Washington hunting license.” Source
So, yes, it is required.
But there are always exceptions to the “rule” right?
Peace Officer or Military Exceptions
See if you qualify for the Hunter Education Deferral Program.
What are some things I will need for Hunter Safety in Washington State?
