Time is running out to register for hunter education courses MADISON – Time is running out for hunters planning to hunt this fall who are required to have but have not yet completed a hunter education course. Most hunter education courses are run from June through September, with only a smattering of courses offered later in the year. “Nearly all of the volunteer hunter education instructors are hunters themselves and enjoy hunting in the fall,” says Tim Lawhern, Department of Natural Resources enforcement and science division administrator, who previously served as the state’s hunting education administrator. “The hunter education program offers about 1,200 courses every year, but very few of them are offered after September.” Every year DNR offices receive calls two weeks before the gun-deer season with hunter-hopefuls looking to fulfill the mandatory hunter education course. “More than 99 percent of our courses have already been offered by that time,” he says. Anyone born on or after Jan.1, 1973, must have completed a hunter education course and show the certificate to purchase any hunting license in Wisconsin. Also, recreational safety students are required to obtain a Wisconsin DNR Customer ID Number before the completion of any recreational safety class and must provide that Customer ID Number to the instructor. Information on obtaining a DNR customer ID number is available on the DNR website.
