Northwoods Adventure: DNR Offering Ways to Earn Firearms Safety Certification

With fall hunting season approaching, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is offering three ways to earn your firearm safety certifications.

“There’s a traditional class with a field day, and online/classroom hybrid with a field day, and then a fully online [class] which includes that virtual field day,” said DNR Regional Training Officer Jennifer Mueller.

The Minnesota DNR firearms certification is required for anyone born after December 31, 1979 to purchase a hunting license in Minnesota.
