JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - The Missouri Department of Conservation is offering two free upcoming hunter education skills sessions in the KXCV/KRNW listening area.

The first will be in Trenton on March 30, from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., at North Central Missouri College Barton Campus. The second will be in Chillicothe on April 13, from 5:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. at the Cornerstone Church Event Center.

Participants will earn the safety certificate needed to obtain hunting permits. These sessions will teach and test participants for safe firearms handling and basic hunting skills.

The skills sessions classes are for students ages 11 and older. The certification course can be completed online by hunters ages 16 and older for a paid fee to an online provider.

But for hunters ages 11 to 15, or those of any age seeking in-person instruction, they must take the free skills class in person. They will need to complete the knowledge portion of the class prior to the skills session.

For any questions about the sessions or help getting registered call the MDC office in Chillicothe at 660-646-6122.
