The Bowhunter Education Course is one of several "advanced" courses offered by the Hunter Education Program. Though this course is not required of Massachusetts bowhunters, it is accepted by all states and Canadian jurisdictions which require a Bowhunter Education certificate. Please Note - This course is not a substitute for the mandated Basic Hunter Education course required of all first-time hunters in Massachusetts. All courses are free of charge.  Below is the current schedule of Bowhunter Education course offerings. Students must attend ALL dates listed.  Detailed course description.
