Master Hunter Written Exam Schedule

Advance scheduling is required for all Master Hunter exams. The written exam is not available online. Timed tests are administered at either the Olympia headquarters or a regional WDFW office. In some cases the Master Hunter Program Coordinator may arrange for a local Certified Hunter Education Instructor to proctor the test. Some members of the Master Hunter Advisory Group are also serving as Test Proctors.

The passing score on the written exam is 80% -- meaning a “B” or higher.

Please call 360-902-8410 if you have questions about the test or test scheduling.

  • Make and confirm arrangements with the test proctor well in advance.
