PSA for Montana and Idaho Hunters Ed and Bow Ed

[Howard Mee]

At first glance, I don't see that this has been posted yet.
Montana (and maybe others) has suspended Hunters/Bow Ed classes.
Idaho, however, is temporarily allowing Hunters/Bow Ed classes online WITHOUT requiring a field day.
MT accepts ID education classes (check to see about your state).
So, what a lot of us are doing is taking the ID online course. $30 after you pass the test.
We're using that to buy licenses in our home state. Kids have to be 9 yrs old to register for the class.
Granted, it isn't ideal to skip the field day, but at least new hunters have a way to hunt the 2020 season.
Add your comments and info that I have skipped or neglected.Thanks.

Thank you, my boy was going to take a class here shortly, but this crap hit and Montana suspended everything and he was worried he wasn't going to be able to bowhunt this fall. So thanks again!

I did the Idaho bowhunter ed in 2018 on the computer and never did a field day

Absolutely. We were in the same boat. Glad there's a way to get some new hunters into the woods!!

Same here but in 2017. No field day. No issue.
