No. Adults who possess any prior year’s hunting or sporting license (combination hunting and fishing license) from any state or province are exempt from taking and passing a hunter education course. All minors between 15-17 years of age who wish to purchase a hunting license must produce the following documentation in order to purchase any sporting or hunting license: • A basic hunter education course certificate and a letter of consent allowing the minor to hunt from his or her parent or guardian OR • A letter signed by the minor’s parent or guardian affirming that the minor will be accompanied at all times by a licensed adult while hunting and a letter of consent allowing the minor to hunt from his or her parent or guardian. No other documents may be accepted from any minor 15 -17 years of age (including a previous year’s hunting or sporting license) for purchasing a minor hunting or sporting license.
