Additional Option: One-time, one year Hunter Education Deferral Extension

Hunter Education Deferral (cost: $10) - Allows a person 17 years of age or older who has not completed a hunter education course to defer completion for up to one year, as long as the person is accompanied by a hunter who has completed hunter education or is exempt (born prior to 9-2-71). A deferral may only be obtained once and is only valid until the end of the current license year. A person who has been convicted or received deferred adjudication for violation of the mandatory hunter education requirement is prohibited from applying for a deferral. The Deferral is available from any hunting license vendor.
