We strongly suggest you sign up for a Field Day and send in your signed waiver as soon as possible to avoid any delays in obtaining your hunter education certificate. Please note - for students under 18, the release must be signed by a parent or guardian and verified by a notary. You can access the liability release through the DNREC website.

Careless or reckless behavior while hunting can lead to serious injury to one self or to innocent bystanders. This is why Delaware requires most hunters to take hunter education courses, and to follow the 10 rules of firearm safety at all times when hunting.
