Colorado law requires that anyone born on or after January 1, 1949, complete an approved hunter education course before applying for or buying a Colorado hunting license.
Colorado Parks and Wildlife Hunter Education Courses, led by certified volunteer hunter education instructors and/or CPW staff, are offered throughout the state year-round.
New Hunters
New hunters will have to complete a hunter education course before purchasing a hunting license, and can explore hunting tips through videos, review past webinars, and register for seminars and skills clinics.
