Instructors Teaching Tomorrow's Hunters
A proactive, informed group of ND volunteers who dedicate themselves to promoting quality education, who are recognized as leaders in enriching our hunting heritage with respect to safety, integrity and conservation.

Our History:
Optional hunter education began in North Dakota in the 1970s. In 1979 hunter education became mandatory through legislative process and required that all people born after 1961 complete a certified course in order to purchase a hunting license. Since then more than 130,000 persons have been certified. The program is funded on a seventy-five/twenty-five percent split between the Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration Act and the North Dakota Game and Fish Department.
