A Hunter Education Skills Session will be held on Saturday, Feb. 21, at Jamestown C-1 School from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. In order to attend the Skills Session, students must sign up online and have completed the Knowledge requirement. The Knowledge requirement can be completed in one of two ways: online study completion or completing the review section in the study-guide. For more information about Missouri Hunter Education, or to sign up for the online course, please go to www.mdc.mo.gov or www.hunter-ed.com/missouri/. The study guide may be ordered online at the website above or picked up from any MDC office.

Likewise, students must bring proof of completing the Knowledge requirement, either a completed study guide or an online session certificate.
Hunters who were born on or after Jan. 1, 1967, and are 16 or older must successfully complete an approved hunter-education course to qualify to buy firearms hunting permits. Some hunters who otherwise would not need hunter education must be certified if they want to mentor novice hunters.
