Hunter education in-person class offered in Glasgow

Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks Hunter Education course dates have been set for Glasgow. An in-person classroom course runs March 21-24, and a field day on March 25. All hunter education classes are free of charge.

In-person, instructor-led hunter education classroom courses are available to anyone age 10 and older and provides new hunters with a hands-on learning experience that can be particularly beneficial for people who have minimal experience in the field or handling firearms. In-person courses are led by volunteer instructors who are passionate about preserving Montana’s hunting tradition, teaching firearm safety, ethics, and other outdoor skills.

For youth to be eligible to hunt and be fully certified during the 2022 season, hunters must be 12-years old by January 16, 2023. Students aged 10 and 11 can take an in-person course and hunt as an apprentice but will not be fully certified until the year they turn 12. 

Students must be registered prior to attending a class or field course. To find a class and register, go to fwp.mt.gov/education/hunter-education. Make sure to print, read and sign any necessary paperwork ahead of the class. This class require students to pick up a manual and complete chapter quizzes before class begins. Manuals are available at the FWP office in Glasgow.

If there are any questions, please contact course instructor Marc Kloker at 406-228-3704.
