[jdog]

i was thinking of deer hunting in wisconsin this year and i realized i need a hunters safety class i am from minnesota and with the government shutting down im kind of stuck so i was wondering if i needed to take the class in my state of residence or can i take the class in wisconsin

Check with Gander Mountain as they have a lot of them. Might be on their HSOforum.

The bad thing is about the shutdown is, anyone teaching a safety course is considered a volunteer for the state. With shutdown even volunteers can work, therfore no classes can be given while the state is shutdown. My youngest son is supposed to take one the end of the month also so he can this fall.... I hope these boneheads get there heads out of their arses so he can take it. It's the only planned so far close enough for us to get him there

After reading my post I realized I had messed it up. A volunteer for the state CAN'T teach a class.

To get back to the original post, I believe that if you can show proof of hunting in Minnesota ( an old license) you can buy one in Wisconsin. That all depends on your age also if I remember correctly.

Proof of hunting in Minnesota isn't enough to get a Wisconsin license. Either a previous tag in Wisconsin, born before 1/1/73 or have a safety cert from a recognized state.

Its funny I just became a Certified DNR Volunteer Safety Instructor and yet I dont have a safety certificate myself I have all my paperwork did the online training and test, my DD214, all i need is to find an instructor to give me the 250 question test and I havent been able to find one. I instead took the course as an instructor but still need the certification. I dont need it in MN but i do need it in WI and TX where I wanted to go dove hunting and pig hunting.
