I have a friend that hasn't hunted his whole life and desided he is going to hunt this year. Is he required to take a Huntersafty course even though he is over twenty one

It depends on what state you live in. I know in Idaho, you are required to take a safety course if you were born after a certain year. 1974?

Check your state regulations.

I would highly recommend that any new hunter regardless of age attend an approved safety course. Basic safety and gun tenants are taught. If your friend has never hunted is he new to firearms? Does he know the difference what is a legal shot or ethical shot. Many states have size and point restrictions and violations bring severe penalties. Look at attendance at such as course as an investment and overall hunting experience enrichment.
