INTERNATIONAL BOWHUNTER EDUCATION PROGRAM
WYOMING
The National Bowhunter Education Foundation (NBEF) is an independent, nonprofit, tax exempt education organization that develops, implements and administers the International Bowhunter Education Program (IBEP), which is a 10-12 hour, standardized course on bowhunting. It includes classroom study and field experience. The IBEP course is being taught in all 50 states, Canada and some European and African countries.
In Wyoming, the NBEF with cooperation from the Wyoming Game and Fish Department, offer the IBEP to all bowhunters and potential bowhunters across the state.
There are two options available to complete the course:
