MONTANA – The COVID-19 pandemic is changing so many parts of life in Montana this year – hunter and bowhunter education is no different.
In response to social distancing requirements and restrictions on group gatherings, Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks is turning to online courses for all students this year only.
The online courses and mandatory field days have been available to adults for a tuition fee of $25 for hunter education and $30 for bowhunter education. The in-person courses have always been, and will remain, free; however, since the in-person options aren’t feasible under phases one and two of Gov. Steve Bullock’s reopening the Big Sky plan, FWP will cover the online tuition fees for all Montana residents until the state reaches phase three of the plan and in-person hunter and bowhunter education courses are available once again.
