The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) reminds hunters they must show proof of their Hunter Education certification number to buy firearms hunting permits if their certification number is not already in the Department’s permits system. A hunter education course is required for hunters born on or after Jan. 1, 1967 who hunt with firearms. Proof of certification from any state is acceptable. Hunters can find their “Hunter Ed #” on the front of their Missouri Conservation Heritage Card, or on their temporary Hunter Education certificate. If hunters do not have one of these, they can call the Missouri Department of Conservation’s Hunter Education or Permit Services staff at 573-751-4115. If you need to get a Hunter Education Permit and have not attended a class, courses are beginning to show up on the mdc.mo.gov website. A course will be held in Bunker this Saturday from 9:00 to 1:00 at the Bunker High School as well as at the Salem Community Center at the Armory on October 10th from 5:30 to 9:30.
