Deferred Hunter Education Licenses

A hunter can apply and use a Deferred Hunter Education License as long as the user:

• is at least 16 years of age and born after December 31, 1968 and not hunter education certified.
  
• is in the immediate presence of an adult hunter who is at least 21 years of age and possesses valid hunter education certification, or who was born on or before December 31, 1968.
  
• possesses a valid Arkansas hunting license.

A DHE license can be acquired once in a lifetime. The DHE license expires June 30. A person is not eligible if convicted or forfeited bond for prior violation of Hunter Education Certification Requirements or under AGFC-sanctioned hunting privilege revocations.
