The scary thing is that I took my Hunters Safety back in 1990 and I have never had it checked in any state that I have hunted. Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Kansas, Wyoming and a few others. The closest I ever have ever been was buying my deer tags for the 1st time in Wisconsin. I went to get them Over the counter and had forgot my hunters safety card in my car. The Clerk just said he'd throw in any 9 digit number. I was running late so If it worked, fine with me. My buddies the day before had the same thing happen but at a different store. With many states doing OTC on hunting licenses at any general store, I think these clerks are forgetting about it or just don't care, at least thats what I have seen. I hope other people have had different experiences. In general though, you should be fine, most state laws say that any state firearm course in the nation is sufficient for there state.
