The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) is offering opportunities this spring for individuals in the Kansas City area to complete their hunter education certification. This required skills session serves as the final step in the certification process and is open to participants aged 11 and older.
While parents or guardians are encouraged to attend with younger participants, they are not required to register for the class themselves. Before attending the in-person session, all participants must first complete the knowledge portion of the course.
This can be done either through a paid online program or by completing the chapter review questions in the official student manual. Those who choose the manual option must bring their completed booklet to the session for instructor review at no cost.
MDC will host several free skills sessions at different locations in the region. On March 30, a class will take place in Warsaw from 5:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. at Lost Valley Hatchery.
Another session is scheduled for April 4 in Blue Springs, running from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at Timothy Lutheran Church. A third opportunity will be held on May 2 in Parkville from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Parma Woods Shooting Range.
Space may be limited, so early registration is recommended.
