No safety course proof for some hunters

Montana still requires most people born after January 1, 1985 to show a hunter safety course to get a license. Youth who qualify for the state’s terminal-illness youth licenses do not have to show that proof. People with an apprentice hunting certificate also do not have to show proof. Everyone else must still show hunter safety proof.
