Michigan’s Hunter Safety Education Program
Formal hunter education efforts began in the late 1940s and later expanded nationwide until it is now required almost everywhere, including Michigan. Since the implementation of education, there has been a tremendous decline in hunting-related incidents across the country.
By completing and passing this Michigan-approved online hunting license course, you will have satisfied the educational requirement for Michigan.
Pay Only When You Pass
Get Safe. Get Certified. It’s the Law!
Who Needs the Certificate?
In order to purchase a Michigan hunting license, all hunters born on or after January 1, 1960, need a Hunter Safety Certificate.
Good in Other States
All states and provinces that have mandatory hunter education requirements will accept Michigan Hunter Education certifications. Likewise, Michigan will accept Hunter Education certifications that are issued by other states and provinces that meet official IHEA requirements. (This is known as “reciprocity.”)
Why Hunter Education?
Since states have begun requiring hunter education, over the last 30 years hunting incidents have drastically decreased, while the number of hunters has increased. Today, hunting is one of the safest outdoor activities you can enjoy.
Age Restrictions
Minimum Age There are no minimum age requirements to take the Michigan Hunter’s Ed Course.
