Official Colorado Hunter Education Course

About the Course and Hunting License Requirements

Under Colorado hunting law, every hunter born on or after January 1, 1949, must successfully complete a hunter education course.

A hunting license and proof of certification is required to be on your person while hunting.

This course is recommended for students 10 years or older. If parents are interested in having a younger child take the class, we suggest the parent go through one of the online offerings with their child to determine the child's understanding of the material.
