Vermont’s Hunter Safety Education Program

Get Safe. Get Certified. It’s the Law!
Who Needs the Certificate?
State law requires anyone born on or after January 1, 1975, to complete a hunter education course before hunting in Vermont.
Good in Other States
All states and provinces that have mandatory hunter education requirements will accept Vermont Hunter Education certifications. Likewise, Vermont 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.
