Official Arizona Hunter Education Course

About the Course and Hunting License Requirements

Welcome to the official online hunting course of the Arizona Game and Fish Department. Under Arizona hunting law, no one under the age of 14 may take big game without having completed a Hunter Education Course. To hunt big game, anyone 10 to 13 years of age must have in their possession a valid hunting license, a valid Hunter Education Course completion card, plus any required permit tags.

Bonus Points: All students, regardless of age, receive one Bonus Point for tag drawings after successfully completing an approved hunter education course. (A person can only receive one Education Bonus Point, so taking a course multiple times will not earn a student multiple Points.)

There are two study options:

• Attend a Basic Hunter Education Class or ...
• Independent study through this online course, followed by a Field Day and a written test. The Field Day and written exam requirements are explained online at the Arizona Game and Fish Department Hunter Education Field Day web page.
