A Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks Bowhunter Education course date has been set for an adult online “field day” course on Wed., Aug. 15, from 5:30 p.m.-8:30 p.m.

Archery hunters must have purchased a Montana bow and arrow license prior to hunting during the archery-only season. To purchase a bow and arrow license an individual must meet one of the following requirements:

· show completion of a bowhunter education course

· show proof of purchase of a previous year’s bow and arrow license from Montana or another state

*Signed affidavits are no longer acceptable as proof of bowhunter education.

For the adult online field course, adults must pass the online bowhunter education course and receive a Field Day Qualifier Certificate. This Field Day Qualifier Certificate and a picture ID are necessary to obtain entrance into the field course. The adult field course will be held from 5:30 p.m.-8:30 p.m. at the FWP headquarters Quonset building.

Adult students need to register online to take the course.
