Hunter Education
Posted by email on May 10, 2010I have received many inquiries regarding where and how to obtain Hunter Education certification in the State of Iowa. Iowa law requires that anyone born after January 1, 1972 must be certified in Hunter Education before they are eligible to purchase an Iowa hunting license. A person who is 11 years old or older may enroll in a course, but those who are 11 and successfully complete the course will be issued a certificate which becomes valid on that person’s 12th birthday. Iowa residents under the age of 12 can be issued a deer or turkey license; however, a licensed adult hunter must accompany each youth hunter.
The Crew will be using a new on-line resource to help you obtain your certificate. In order to utilize this resource, you simply log onto a special educational site (ctrl click on the link below) at

and work your way through the on-line curriculum. You will read sections, check out visual aids and take periodic quizzes. You can proceed at your own pace, even log out and return as many times as you wish. There is no charge for the course until you successfully pass the course, at which time you will need to pay $24.95 to receive a “field day voucher”. This voucher will serve as your ticket for admission to our field day event that will be scheduled later this year. By taking the internet-based course and receiving this voucher, you shorten the actual classroom time to a few hours instead of a few days! Here’s the promotional language provided by the class provider:
