More than 100 classes are listed on the website, Carter said, and persons interested in taking a class should schedule it now. “Most of the classes are offered over the next few months,” Carter said, “and they fill up quickly.”

In rural areas, Carter said, classes are most likely offered only once, while in larger communities multiple sessions are typically scheduled.

Hunter education applicants should access the Game and Fish Department home page at gf.nd.gov, click on the online services tab, and then click on “online course enrollment” under the hunter education heading. Classes are listed by city, and can also be sorted by start date.

To register for a class, click on “enroll” next to the specific class, and follow the simple instructions. Personal information is required. Enrollment for some classes requires calling the instructor’s phone number.

Those who do not have access to the internet and want to sign up for a class can call the hunter education program in Bismarck at 328-6615.

State law requires persons born after Dec. 31, 1961 to pass a certified hunter education course to hunt in the state. Hunter education is mandatory for youth who are turning 12 years old, and children can take the class at age 11.
