About the Standards

In 1999 the International Hunter Education Association (IHEA-USA) adopted a set of performance guidelines for basic hunter education courses. These standards have been used internationally by hunter education administrators to evaluate minimum core content in hunter education courses. Industry partners, including the Wyoming Game and Fish Department and Bowhunter Ed, have used the revised standards to develop new student manuals and alternative delivery methods for hunter education.
