I want to take my grandson pig hunting this spring, but he has never had a Cal. license, but he has a youth AZ. license. I am correct that he will not need to take Cal hunter safety course because he does have a Az. license. I think I read that someplace as long a person has other states license he can get Ca. license without taking safety test. thanks GDL, JohnResized_20200901_085242.jpeg

this has been my experience. But in other states they will need to see his hunters education proof of purchase.
 
My experience has been that most states require proof of Hunter's Safety. In HI, I had to provide that info from classes I took in CA and they gave me an exemption number. Downside is that it took 2 months, so you might want to get on it. Alaska, Montana, and Colorado were the same unless you're a really old fart, like me. If you can prove that you and Jesus were on the same water polo team, they give you a break.

Your grandkid is one lucky dude. Every kid should have a Grandpa like you.
 
John,

Since he's a junior hunter (under 16), I do believe he must show proof of a hunter safety course from California...Probably not a bad idea to just have him take it anyway...Fun day at BPS

Thanks a lot. His grandma and I consider it a privilege to help and support our grandkids in every way possible. They mean the world to us.
