You may have heard that the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife is moving to a new electronic licensing system (click here to learn more). Please read this letter for information on this change and what it will mean for you as a Hunter Education instructor. Additional information can be found in the Frequently Asked Questions and the section on what it means for students.
To schedule a new class, please click on the link below and complete the form. Your class scheduling and material request will be reviewed by the Hunter Education Team. Please allow about a week for your class to be available for purchase by students in the electronic licensing system.
