MDC hosts hunter education skills session in Jefferson City Nov. 12 at Runge Nature Center

COLUMBIA, Mo. -- The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) invites the public to finish their hunter education certification in central Missouri this November. This training session is the final step to becoming hunter education certified, and the class is designed for participants ages 11 and older.

MDC staff at Runge Nature Center will be hosting a skills session Thursday, Nov. 12 from 5-9 p.m., just in time for the firearms deer November portion that begins on Nov. 14. Registration for this class is required at http://short.mdc.mo.gov/ogF. 

Prior to attending the class, participants will need to complete the knowledge portion of the certification process. To do so, participants can either complete the online version for a fee or fill out the student manual chapter review questions. Those who choose to fill out the student manual chapter review questions will need to bring the booklet to the event for the instructor to review at no cost. The online knowledge portion and information about the student manuals can be found on MDC’s website at https://short.mdc.mo.gov/ZCt. Student manuals are also available at any MDC office.
