Terrible website. LIMITED MINDLESS SUPPORT. Click links to just redirect you back to previous page. Do not pay for this service, waste of money! Find a in person class. It would be better! Absolutely... See more

Very poorly built platform. The number of bugs is endless - from links taking me to the wrong page, to not giving me access to all the required quizzes. Then, when I wrote a constructive email br... See more

The people who rated this course a five…

The people who rated this course a five are not looking at the big picture. Children, adults with learning disabilities and bilingual people will have an extremely difficult time interpreting questions and supplying answers on the final exam. It actually deters people from getting their license with its extremely broad and expansive material. They say it is geared to someone with a sixth grade education. I find that highly unlikely.
This is not the military where you have to know specifics on every topic relating to hunting , first aid and ethics. I was wondering why I never saw any hunters during deer season. Well, now I know. This test defeats the purpose of getting more young people involved in hunting.

The timer is extremely annoying

the timer in between the slides are extremely annoying adding so much additional time to finish the course. this is enough for me to not recommend this course to anyone and to just tell them to do the in-person training as it would save so much more time.

Many states and Canada require that a minimum of three to four hours be spent studying the course material. In-person classes meet this requirement with a proctor/instructor and a class schedule. There is a timer on each page to ensure the study time required is met.

Links don't work…

Links don't work for finishing the course. Amateur level for such as serious topic. Calling and waiting on the line for someone "to be with me shortly" is a a waste of time, waiting for the "phone specialist".

Evil

Beware. HunterCourse.com is your enemy.

I thought I purchased their online course for $80 or whatever it was. I started taking it at my own pace. Then at one point a couple of months in, when I tried to log in, it told me my login has expired: We will reactivate it for you for $15. You should have read the fine print when you made a deal with the devil.

There is no justification behind this move. I completed maybe 10% of the course and they know it. They never sent me an expiration warning. They never warned me that I’m just renting the course not buying it.

Their motivation is crystal clear:
HunterCourse.com has no shame;
HunterCourse.com loves money;
HunterCourse.com hates you.

Hello,
I am so sorry you had this experience with our program. We do state in the FAQs and the Terms of Service that the course is only available for 90 days. We also offer two options if you do not complete the course in that time period. We give you the option during registration and payment that advises you of this and that you can automatically renew your course for additional 30 days at the additional cost each month until completed. The second option, which you saw, is that we offer a reactivation fee of $15 if you go past the 90 days and still need to complete your course and did not select to do the auto renewal

Great Course

Great Course. The timer for each page is unfortunate for people that are faster readers, which I'm not but still beat the timer every time. Besides that though, it's a fantastic course with a very easy exam that covers everything you learned.

The site was okay

The site was okay, but it was incredibly slow because of the timer. There was a lot of irrelevant information, and every time I try to login it keeps telling me I have to pay even though I just did

THESE ONLINE HUNTING COURSES ARE A SCAM!!! I paid $80.00 for this and passed the online portion, but when i finally found someone to examine me with the practical portion, they all tell me I wasted my $80 bucks and I could have just went to them instead for 2 hours and did the same thing. $80 bucks for this scam and another $60 for the REAL DEAL

If you have the CORE book forget this course.

All of the material here is found in the CORE book but is narrated. There should be more questions on the quiz. You should be able to take the quiz more than once. I asked for a refund for this course. I do not recommend it if you have the study materials already.

Online was great

Online was great. I was able to go at my own pace. However, now that I have completed it, there is no place to get the field experience portion. So now I have to pay to go in person. Double the money and time.
