How many of you have your 'Hunter Education Certificate of Qualification' handy?
I'm getting ready to apply for an out of state big game hunting license for Colorado and they require your certificate number that proves you have successfully completed Hunter Education.
I couldn't find mine and after researching online on what to do, I found the following statement;
"Certificates dated earlier than 1980 cannot be found or replaced. If you need a certificate and yours cannot be found, you will need to retake the course."
I wasn't exactly sure when I took my course, but I believed it was at the time I reached of legal age to hunt small game on my own in the state of NY.
So, I called the phone number provided from the Google search and the person that answered helped me over the phone. After providing her with some basic information, she said that I just made into their NY database by one month. She laughed, I laughed and then she told me she'd mail the duplicate certificate out right away and I should receive it in the mail within a few business days. That conversation occurred last Thursday afternoon.
Well, I received it today in the mail, which made me just as excited as the day I successfully completed the course back in 1980 I think
So, does everybody here have their certificate handy, cause you'll need it if you ever wish to obtain an out of state hunting license for many of the US states.
Thought I'd pass that along because it was a minor stumbling block for me in the application process.
