WEST PLAINS, Mo. – The calendar may still say “winter,” but many people are starting to prepare for spring turkey season or other upcoming hunting opportunities. 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 on or 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. MDC offers two hunter education options; an all-online format and a blended format.
