Learning about the different types 
of firearms used in hunting is part of a 
Missouri Department of Conservation hunter
education skills session. People needing to take
skills sessions to receive hunter education
certification will have several opportunities
in the upcoming weeks.

Most Missouri hunters are required to take hunter’s education. Though I was not, having been born prior to 1967, I did it anyway when my kids were taking it.  I have hunted my whole life, and at the very least it didn’t hurt me.  There was information about hunting, firearm safety (obviously), tree stand safety, and much much more.  These sessions are from the Rolla area, but if you are somewhere else, just follow the links to get the information you need.

MDC to offer hunter education opportunities in upcoming weeks

Individuals needing hunter education have classroom and online options.

Rolla, Mo. – The calendar may still say “winter,” but many people are starting to prepare for upcoming hunting seasons. If taking hunter education is one of the things you need to do to enjoy firearms hunting opportunities this year, the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) has several options available.

Individuals born after Jan. 1, 1967 hunting in Missouri during a firearms season or acting as an adult mentor to another hunter must have hunter education certification unless exempt (see exemptions listed below). MDC offers two hunter education options; an all-online format and a blended format.

The all-online format may be completed by Missouri residents age 16 and older. It consists of an online course and requires a fee paid to the online course provider (not MDC). The all-online option requires the passing of a final exam; but has no skills portion.

The blended format has two parts – a knowledge portion and a skills session portion – and may be completed by Missouri residents age 11 and older. The knowledge portion provides information to participants on all aspects of hunter education and can be taken online, through a free self-study guide which is available at a number of MDC offices (including the Rolla MDC Office), or in a classroom setting. Participants choosing the free self-study guide must answer all chapter review exercises at the end of the study booklet and bring to the HED skills session, along with legal proof of date of birth.

Participants using the blended format must also complete a four-hour skills session that includes a multiple-choice final exam. The skills portion is a hands-on demonstration of skills learned by participants.

“Hunter education skills sessions fill up fast as we get closer to hunting seasons,” said MDC Hunter Education and Shooting Range Coordinator Justin McGuire. “MDC offers these classes year-round, so this is a great time of year to get your certification completed.” Participants using the blended format must complete and pass both portions to earn certification.

For individuals participating in the blended format, here is a list of skills sessions coming up in Maries, Pulaski, & Phelps counties:

February 16: 5 – 9 p.m., Knights of Columbus Hall – Vienna, 206 6th St., Vienna (Maries County). Sign up for this session and get more information at:
