MassWildLife continues to offer Basic Hunter Education courses free* of charge. They have recently begun offering a blended course format, in which students complete the online MA hunter study guide before attending in-person portion. Several instructors are also members of TRGC and BRC. If you wish to take this blended format, please check out: https://www.mass.gov/info-details/basic-hunter-education-courses. There is an upcoming class to be held at Billerica Rod & Gun Club on September 16 and 18. Students MUST complete the online portion BEFORE attending, and students MUST attend both classes in order to compete the course.
Walk-ins will not be allowed for this course.
* Funding for the program is derived from the sale of hunting and sporting licenses, and from federal excise taxes on firearms and archery equipment.
