Hunter education is a mandatory program in Iowa for anyone born after January 1st, 1972 who wishes to purchase an Iowa hunting license. The course covers basic survival and first aid skills, water safety, wildlife identification, wildlife management basics, hunting laws, and firearm and archery safety. It also emphasizes individual responsibility and outdoor ethics.

Those registering a child for the course should log in as the child or create an account for the child rather than registering as a parent. Students who have previously purchased Iowa DNR licenses such as youth deer tags will already have an Iowa DNR account and should use their personal information to register.
