This isn't the first time that I've run up on this problem. Hunters call to book a hunt, then they try to get their non-resident small game license, only to find that they can't get one in Mississippi because they don't have a hunter safety card. Here is the most recent email:
Hello Rob,
I have encountered a problem. I went to the Mississippi state website to
order a license and discovered that I need a hunter safety card. My
birthday is after the cutoff. Here in Alabama, you don't have to have a
hunter safety card unless you were born after 1975. Is the safety card
required for everyone; even people going with a guide such as yourself; or
just residents wanting to buy a license to hunt on their own. If it's
required for everyone, I don't see how I can make the time to come to
Mississippi to take the course.
Is there not a reciprocal agreement between states? If a hunter is good to hunt in his state, that doesn't necessarily mean he can hunt in Mississippi. And in this case, the hunter would have to travel to Mississippi and take the hunter safety course, then travel back to Mississippi to actually hunt. Being that most of my hunters are waterfowl hunters from out of state (AL, GA, SC, NC, NY, MN, MO, IN, OH, IA, FL) they aren't able to drive to Mississippi in the summer or fall to take a hunter's safety course.
They way I understand it, if you're born after the 1972 date, then you're pretty much hung out to dry if you're a non-resident and you want to hunt Mississippi. And with all of the advertising MS does for hunting, it seems like something could be done to fix this problem. Is there some type of online course?

| And as I understand it, the hunters safety course can be completed in another state as long as it corresponds to the standards that Mississippi states in there hunter safety courses. |

All states have a reciprocal hunter ed agreement. Each state's hunter ed must meet national requirements. A MS hunter ed card is good in any state you go to. The same for a AL hunter ed card.
If this guy from AL has satisfactory completed the hunter ed requirements in AL and has his hunter ed card, he meets MS hunter ed requirements. He can have a Hawaii hunter ed card living in AL and would be good to go in MS. If he was born after Jan 1, 1972, he has to have a hunter ed card to hunt in MS no matter what state he is from.
My guess is he either doesn't have a hunter ed card or there was a communication problem between him and the operator.
Feel free to have him call me at 601-540-5783.

Thanks, Scott. It sounds like he's saying he didn't have to have one in AL, because he was older than their 1975 cutoff. But, like alot of us are, he didn't make the 1972 Mississippi Cutoff.

From what he says, Scott, he is exempt from having to have a hunter's ed card in Alabama, because he was born before their 1975 cutoff date. But he needs one to hunt in MS because of our 1972 cutoff date.
I can understand MS wanting everyone to be educated on firearms safety and such, but why not honor another state's requirements?
I supppose the thing to do is to find out early where you are going on your out of state hunting trip, and plan accordingly. If you wait too late, as he did, there are no hunter's safety classes available until the following year.
Thanks,
Rob
