course |
|
March 18, 2015 |
Idaho bowhunters in need of bowhunter education
certification now have the option of being
certified online. The course is designed to help
Idaho bowhunters sharpen their skills and learn
safe in-the-field practices.
“The internet course teaches the same curriculum
taught in the bowhunter instructor-led course
using the same student manual,” said Brenda
Beckley, Hunter Education & Recruitment Manager
for the Idaho Fish and Game. “This course is
another option for our students. Our
instructor-led courses will continue to be
taught as it is preferred by some students.”
Students can now certify without attending a
field day, but can voluntarily attend a field
exercise in an instructor-led course by making
arrangements in advance through their local Fish
and Game office.
The internet course is a self-paced, interactive
course that accommodates all types of learners.
Designed to be a fun and informative
presentation of essential safety information,
short videos cover topics such as bowhunting
methods, tree stand safety and archery practice.
The course also teaches important skills such as
blood trailing and distance estimation.
The Idaho-approved online bowhunter course
allows students to study for free, only paying
the $30 fee after they have successfully passed
the final exam. The course was made to fit the
learner’s schedule, with progress automatically
saved so students can learn at their own pace.
The course is also mobile friendly, allowing
students to take it at any time from using their
computer, smartphone, tablet, e-reader or
Internet TV.
Students must be at least 10 years old and a
state resident to take Idaho’s Bowhunter
Education course.
To become certified, students can complete their
bowhunter education at

The course, Bowhunter Ed, is the official course
of the National Bowhunter Education Foundation. |
