    It won't hurt to take the course and will add knowledge!

    In kentucky yes. Anyone born on or after January 1st 1975 must have a hunter education card in possession while hunting in Ky. I don't know about your state but the fish and wildlife department should have the regs on their website

    That correct answer is dependant upon your states requirements. When I was a kid, Hunter Safety was part of 7th grade gym class, so everyone had it. Now in Virginia, you must either show proof of having completed the class, OR have already purchased a license in the past. Either is acceptable.

    Sorry I didn't give the "Correct Answer" and this isn't the "Correct Answer" but by doing the math yourself you can find the "Correct Answer"!


    "Hunters born on or after January 1, 1980 must show proof
    that they have successfully completed a Hunter Education
    Course provided by Illinois DNR or their resident state or
    must show a previous year’s hunting license."
