Official Montana Hunter Ed Course on Trapping Responsibly and Safely

The Montana Today’s Trapper Course fee is $34.50.

All first-time trappers must either complete a Montana trapper education course or have purchased three prior years of trapping licenses.

You must be at least 11 years old to take this online course.

You do not have to be a resident of Montana to take this online course.

The Montana Today’s Trapper Course is approved and accepted by Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks.

Some U.S. states, provinces, and other countries that have mandatory hunter education requirements will accept the Certificate of Completion. (This is known as “reciprocity.”) Students are advised to check with their state or the state where they will be trapping to ensure acceptance and that all trapper education requirements are met.

If you fail a unit quiz, you must restudy the unit and take the quiz again until you pass. You must score at least 80% on the unit quizzes to pass.

The Final Exam, for the online portion, is the exam you take at the end of the online course. You must score at least 80% on the exam to pass. You have unlimited attempts to pass the exam. If you don’t complete the exam in one session, don’t worry. When you log in later, you will be taken to the first unanswered question of the exam.

Once you pay for and pass the online course, you will be able to immediately print out the Field Day Qualifier. This is your proof of online course completion. You can print the Field Day Qualifier right then and/or request that a PDF be emailed to you. You will need this certificate to take the required in-person field day to receive your final certification.

To replace a lost or destroyed Certificate of Completion, log in to the course and print a new one.
