Courtney Robinson scheduled a couple of hunter education classes in Laketown. One is traditional instructor-led (March 4-6 evenings and morning of the 7th), the other is a field day (requires completion of the online class) which will be in the afternoon of March 7th.
The Utah Hunter Education Program helps you learn essential safety skills and develop practical techniques useful for hunting. All courses offered by the Utah Hunter Education Program are nationally recognized.
Completion of a basic hunter education course is required to obtain a hunting license in Utah if you were born after Dec. 31, 1965.
There are two approved Utah Hunter Education course delivery options:
Option 1: Approved online course followed by a required in-person field day
Option 2: Entirely in-person instructor-led course
New to Utah?
If you completed hunter education in another state or country and are now a Utah resident, you must transfer your out-of-state hunter education certification to a Utah certificate before applying for hunting licenses and permits as a Utah resident. To do so, please submit a Utah Hunter Education Program transfer affidavit.
How do I complete Hunter Education and obtain a Utah hunting license?
- Purchase a Hunter Education Registration Certificate ($12, or $17 for a nonresident), which is available through the DWR licensing portal, at any DWR office or from a license agent. The certificate is good for 365 days from the date of purchase.
- Complete an approved Utah Hunter Education course, which includes either in-person or online instruction on safety, ethics, skills and techniques; wildlife identification; hands-on exercises with practical skill application; the final written test and a live-fire shooting exercise. For students selecting the online instruction option, the hands-on exercises, final test and shooting exercise will be covered in a required, in-person field day.
- After you complete all requirements of the Hunter Education course — including the field day for online students — you will be issued a certificate of completion card (commonly known as a "blue card").
- Once you have obtained your certificate of completion card (blue card), you may complete your application for a Utah hunting or combination license through the DWR licensing portal, at any DWR office or from a license agent.

About using firearms
Hunting involves firearms or dangerous weapons, the possession and control of which are controlled by state and federal law. There are a few restrictions on possessing a firearm, including being a legal citizen of the United States or never having been convicted of a felony.
It is your responsibility to be aware of whether you can legally possess a firearm before you use or possess one in Hunter Education or hunting activities. Purchasing a hunting license from the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources will not allow you to legally possess or use a firearm if you are otherwise restricted from possessing a weapon under Section 76-10-503, a court order, or by the Board of Pardons and Parole.
