Class registration must be made on- line at the Missouri Department of Conservation web site: http://my.register-ed.com/eventregistration/studentregister/19436
Included in the training will be gun safety, firearm and ammunition information, the role of the hunter, wildlife management, ethics and hunter preparedness. Those successfully completing the course will receive a Missouri Conservation Heritage Card from the Missouri Department of Conservation.
This certification is mandatory for anyone born on or after Jan. 1, 1967. The class is offered to anyone 11 years or older. Participants should bring to class on Thursday their social security number, hunting/fishing license, youth tags, and/or heritage card. Parents are encouraged to accompany their children during the registration process that occurs on Feb. 8 to ensure the registration forms are completed accurately. Class size will be restricted to 25.
Hunter education training decreases the chance of being injured in a hunting-related accident as it serves to educate those who will take to the woods. In fact, seldom is anyone injured who has participated in these classes. If you have questions, or need assistance registering on line, please contact the Swan Lake NWR Office at 16194 Swan Lake Ave Sumner, MO 63681 or by telephone at (660)856-3323 ext 13.
