Are you sure about 1974? The only date I can find is December 31 1979. I've looked through the hunting and trapping regulations and the website and this is the earliest date I can find for a requirement. I only ask because I was born in 1977 and I was thinking about hunting with a friend two years ago and I thought I was fine.
It's 1979. Belgiboy erred in his statement.
However, that being said, I would recommend that any new hunter go through FAS, regardless of when they were born. An added bonus of doing so is that most states now require proof of completion for non-resident big game licenses.
