Delaware’s Mandatory Wild Turkey Hunting Course will be offered online free of charge due to COVID-19 precautions. The online course will be available through the Hunter Education Program until May 14, 2021.
With Delaware’s wild turkey hunting season opening in April, DNREC reminds resident and non-resident hunters age 13 and older that they must pass a turkey hunting course approved by the Delaware Hunter Education Program before they can legally hunt turkeys in the First State.
The turkey course is being offered online only. To complete the online course, participants may go to the Delaware turkey hunting course on the DNREC website to view the video, take the 20-question test, and either create an account or sign into an existing account in the DNREC ePermitting system to review and/or print their hunting license.
Participants must earn a score of 80% or higher on the test to successfully pass the course. Tests will be reviewed within 24 hours of completion. Successful participants will receive a confirmation email, and the course will be added to their DNREC hunter education profile.
