From @nysdec • Are you hoping to get your hunter education certificate so you can get out for spring turkey season? For a limited time, New York residents can complete the required hunter education course entirely online! First-time hunters who want to hunt during New York’s turkey hunting seasons must first earn a hunter education certificate prior to purchasing their first hunting license. This applies to both the regular season, May 1-31, and the youth (ages 12-15) turkey hunting weekend April 25-26. Unfortunately, all traditional hunter education courses have been cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic, leaving many new hunters unable to get a certificate before the spring season opens. The online course is available to anyone ages 11 and older and can be completed from a computer, tablet, or smart phone at any time. Students who complete the online course and virtual field day, and pass the final exam, will receive their hunter education certificate and can purchase a hunting license. Only those hunters ages 12 or older may purchase a license and head afield this spring. The cost of the online course is $19.95 and it will be available April 15 through June 30, 2020 on the Kalkomey website: https://www.hunter-ed.com/newyork/
