Earn your turkey hunting safety certification in time for Delaware’s turkey hunting season.

Both resident and non-resident hunters must pass a turkey hunting course approved by the DNREC Division of Fish and Wildlife before they can legally hunt turkeys in the First State. Turkey hunters must carry proof of both turkey hunting safety education and basic hunter safety education.

This one-day turkey hunter education course teaches students aged 10 and older turkey hunting safety and current wild turkey hunting laws and regulations. Students also learn wild turkey biology and behavior, Delaware’s wild turkey history, and turkey calling, which can help improve turkey hunting success.

Pre-registration is required.

To register, use the Digital DNREC Hunter Education system or contact the Hunter Education Office at 302-735-3600 (Ext. 1).
