KIRKSVILLE, Mo. -- The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) invites the public to finish their hunter education certification in northeast 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 will be hosting a skills session Thursday, Nov. 12 from 5-9 p.m. at MDC’s Northeast Regional Office, 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/oM5.   

Prior to attending the class, participants will need to complete the knowledge portion of the certification process.
