If you take the texas hunters course you will have a log in so you can stop and continue whenever you want. No time limit

Thank you for posting this. It helped me to get out and start hunting.

Many thanks to the OP. Been looking for something like this for a LONG time.

I started and finished the TX course between two days, then went onto MD DNR compass and entered the certification added the license to the cart and printed out my md hunting license. was very simple but effective course.

I just did this do I have to go back in and change the certification from temporary when I get the real card?

Not sure. Maybe one of the other folks who've done this can chime in here.

I think one person said they just went to walmart or someplace & were able to get the license with the temporary card.

I never got the real card from MD. TX sent me one though.

TX sent you the official hunter safety card? Did you wait until you got that to go & use for your MD hunting license, or did you use your temp TX card?

Yes, within the week, I received a permanent TX hunter safety card.

I did not wait for it though before applying, and used the temp TX card for the MD license. I was able to print a MD license but haven’t received more permanent one. Maybe I won't? Not sure really...I suspect that they would have sent it by now if they were planning on it, but who knows with MD?

The md license is just that piece of paper that you printed. When I got my temp hunter safety "card" after finishing the test I just logged into md dnr compass and imputed the number under certifications. I then went to Walmart less than an hour later and bought my license. I could of done it at home but I wanted the reg book from Walmart for my deer tags and new regs.

MD Instructors have the official cards at the test (supposed to), so when you receive it when pass the test. I'm unsure where you took the test & why they didn't have the cards. Contact the state office for a replacement.

There used to be a check box you clicked on that said you wanted a copy mailed to you...when you did it online otherwise what you printed is your license.

Thanks. I'm not sure if I requested a mailed copy or not. But I'm fine with the printed one.

Wonder how long it will be before DNR figures this out and closes the loop hole?

EastSiideRyda · Dec 27, 2013

Thanks TTMD, I just finished the TX online hunter's ed, and purchased a MD hunting license...of course I haven't bought stamps as of yet since I'm not quite ready to hit the woods.

I have thought the same thing. They have to have noticed an increase in certifications from Texas.

brownspotz · Dec 28, 2013

thanks for this info!

I took the Texas course, passed it and then got my MD license all on the same day.

You can also use the TX HS card as a training cert for the FL NR Permit. No live fire requirement. HS is a carve out in the FL statute that does not require a live fire component.

tntblaster · Dec 28, 2013

If I am reading the Maryland HQL requirements correctly, the TX hunters safety course would not qualify for the HQL. Is that correct?

Regardless, this thread should be stickied!

It won't work because you need to fire ONE round to prove your proficiency.
