Do you have a hunting liscense? If not, and you were born after '72' then yes you do.
You can get a 1 year deferral, if you hunting w/experienced hunters etc etc..

Hunter Education Courses - Hunting - WDFW

QUOTE:

Washington State law requires all individuals born after 1 January 1972 to show proof of basic hunter education training before purchasing a hunting license. There are no exceptions to the law. Classes are offered year-round and interested individuals are encouraged to enroll in classes as early as possible. Summer and fall classes fill up rapidly and there may not be available spaces for late season classes.

There is no minimum age required to enroll in hunter education, but instructors may require a parent or guardian to attend all classes if students are under 12 years of age.

Individuals who have a previous Washington hunting license or a valid Washington hunter education training certificate need only show these documents to a license vendor in order to purchase a new, hunting license.

Non-resident hunters born after January 1, 1972 are also required to prove successful completion of hunter education training before purchasing a hunting license. Please plan non-resident hunting license purchases in advance! Failure to present the necessary documentation to the hunting license vendor will lead to disappointment!

Individuals who have successfully completed hunter education training in other states need only show their out-of-state hunter education certificate at the time of license purchase. Please note that an out-of-state license is not the same as a hunter education certificate.

Hunter Education Deferral - Hunting - WDFW

ANOTHER QUOTE:

Information On Obtaining A Hunter Education Deferral

In 2007 the Washington State Legislature approved a measure that now allows a one-year, once-in-a-lifetime deferral of hunter education training. The deferral option is available to individuals who are accompanied by an experienced hunter who has held a Washington hunting license for the previous three years. A $20 application fee is required.

I wonder if they have my Idaho hunter safety on file or can look it up...or if my dad knows where that card is...

sunofnun · 11-17-2009, 09:48 AM

they can normally look it up..

I hadn't actually had a hunting lisecnse since 1987 or something like that.. and I went in last year and got a liscense. You have to get on the phone w/them (at least here in wa) down in olympia.. but they found it, and got me setup in the computer system.. then all I had to do was go into any old sporting goods store and I showed up in their computers.

I belive you can take it online for $15 and then your set, You can take the practis test... There are bow hunting questions (that I know nothing about) I still got a 85% on the practis...

I just called and they told me I needed to get ID records, either from ID or my card from my dad...

question: if I buy a deer tag, does it let me hunt western washington blacktail, eastern washington whitetail, or eastern washington mule deer? or do I have to choose one or the other?

Monster4570 · 01-11-2010, 04:50 PM

I'm from Oregon and took the class there...long ago...WA told me they could not look it up. I found it myself, but it took a few phone calls to OR F&G in Salem.
