Hunter/trapper education

Hunter/Trapper Education

BCFG will be holding two (2) Hunter/Trapper Education classes in 2025.                         Watch the calendar for the 2025 schedule.

Planning to go hunting/trapping in Pennsylvania?

All first-time hunter/trappers are required to successfully complete a six-hour hunter trapper education course prior to obtaining a license.

Are you an existing hunter planning on hunting out of state?

You too may need a hunter trapper education certificate. Most states now require a hunter trapper education certificate prior to issuing you a license from that state.

Classes are available thru the Pennsylvania Game Commission.

To enroll in a hunter/trapper education class visit the Pennsylvania Game Commission at:   https://www.pgc.pa.gov/HuntTrap/Hunter-TrapperEducation/Pages/default.aspx

Bow Hunting?

Some states now require a successful bow hunting (certificate/class) which the Pennsylvania Game Commission now offers.
