The Natural Resources Department Parks and Recreation program is coordinating a Hunters Education Field Day on April 13th at the Natural Resources Office. Registration for the class must be done online at the ODFW website. There is a $10 per student fee associated with the class. This class will be open to both Tribal and non-tribal members ages 12 to 17 by the beginning of the 2024 hunting season. This class is only the field day and all students must have attended either a conventional course or an online course prior to the field day. There will be limited spots for the field day, so if interested, please sign up as soon possible.
In Oregon all youth hunters age 17 years and younger must pass a certified hunter education class prior to hunting, unless they are participating in the Mentor Youth Hunter Program (youth age 9 to 14 eligible).
The minimum age to hunt big game is 12 (at the time of the hunt) and hunters age 13 and younger must be accompanied by an adult 21 years of age or older when hunting (unless on land owned by parent or legal guardian)
Hunter Education can be completed with a conventional classroom course or online course with a hands-on field day.
Class size is limited in all of these courses! Students must attend all sessions of the course they sign up for.
