codyhuntsaz Report post Posted July 30, 2018 I tried to find the old thread to see if the answer was in there, but I couldnt find it. My question is My wife took the online hunter education course and passed it and printed out her certificate, but now she needs the field day. What field day does she sign up for? Shes over 18 and the Arizona online field day says its for 18 and younger. The bonus point field day says its for 18 and over, but with three years hunting experience. She doesnt have three years of field experience. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IA Born Report post Posted July 30, 2018 She should be able to take the standard field day. It would be the same as if she took the classroom class. The BP field day is, in fact, designed for those adults who have been hunting for a few (or many) years and just want the bonus point without taking the class. Its a way to free up seats for youth and then adults who really need/want the classroom class. We have adults register and show up for the regular online field day quite often. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OK, its confusing when you look at the classes because theyre both titled Arizona online field day, but one of them says its for 18 and older and the other one says its for 18 and younger, but theyre both called the Arizona online field day. The 18 and younger of course is six hours long and 18 and over course is three hours long. Once she has completed that successfully, she will then be issued a hunter safety bonus point? Thanks for the info. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for the info. She's going to want the six hour course. It has the required shooting, and some other activities such as blood trailing, shoot/don't shoot scenarios, safe fence crossings, etc. This is the full online field day designed for new hunters. There is also the 50-question multiple choice test that day. To be clear, the test she took online was to prove she took the online portion; she still has to take and pass the same 50-question test that every other classroom student has to take. I'm not trying to be mean or rude, but you'd be surprised at the number of people who show up to the field day saying "I didn't know there would be a test!" despite it being in bold red letters on the online class website. After she's passed the class and gotten her certificate, she'll receive her Hunter Ed card in the mail, usually within 2 weeks of paperwork being submitted (usually about a week). The bonus point will kick in about 30 days after paperwork, but likely won't show up until after the next draw cycle, as its been explained to me. Something about how the system updates that stuff. The three-hour online field day is for experienced hunters (more than three years) who are expected to show up and go through a self-taught class. There is very little, if any, instructing or lessons taught on this class. Again, you'd be surprised at the number of people who show up with less than three years of experience (if any) and can't answer basic questions. Don't hesitate to holler if you have any questions. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
