Official Arizona Hunter Education Course
About the Course and Hunting License Requirements
 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 9 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.
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.
- Individuals 9 years of age or older may take either course (online or classroom) but to be certified, students must attend ALL listed dates and the certification will only be valid upon or after the 10 year birth date.
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.)
