ODFW offers two types of hunter education classes: a traditional classroom experience over several days where most material is reviewed in the classroom, or independent study, which kids can do from home via workbook or online course. Independent study students also need to attend a field day to receive their hunter education certificate.

For a list of current classes and field days open in Oregon, visit the ODFW’s license sales site and click View All Classes-Workshops / Hunter Ed Class or Hunter Ed Field Day tab. New classes are added regularly so check back if you don’t see a date, time or location that works for you. Registering for a class or field day costs $10.

Adults are also welcome to attend any hunter education classes and may take the adult online course, which doesn’t require a field day for certification.

Hunter education is required for all hunters under the age of 18 and encouraged for adults, too. The classes cover important issues including hunter ethics and respect for private landowners; wildlife management and identification; firearms handling and safety; hunt preparation and techniques; survival; and introductory bowhunting.

All classes and field days are taught by certified volunteers dedicated to passing on the tradition of hunting to future generations. These volunteer instructors teach and certify about 6,500 students statewide each year in hunter education.
