In Montana all first-time bowhunters, regardless of age, must complete a bowhunter education course. Montana law requires anyone buying an archery license to show either a previous year’s archery license or a certificate of completion from a bowhunter education course. In northwest Montana, prospective bowhunters 18 and older may complete the classroom part of the bowhunter course online (there is a $20 fee), then complete requirements for their certificate at a four-hour field course offered Saturday, July 19 at the Flathead Valley Trap Club site north of Kalispell. All information needed to register, study and test for the online part of the class is on theFWP Internet site at http://www.bowhunter-ed.com/mt/index.htm . Call FWP at 752-5501 for information on the July 19 field course.
