Hunter Education Course To Be Held In October

The Missouri Department of Conservation, in conjunction with the Black River Electric

Cooperative will sponsor a Hunter Education Course in October, 2010. 

The course will be held at the Black River Electric Co-Op in Fredericktown on October 5-7, 2010.  The course will be offered from 6-10 p.m. all three nights.  Students are required to attend the course in its entirety.  They also are required to pass an exam at the end of the course in order to receive certification. 

Students who successfully complete the course will receive a Heritage Card from the Missouri Department of Conservation. This card will have the student’s personal information and Hunter Education Certification Number. Missouri Hunter Education Certification is accepted in all 50 states as well as the Canadian provinces, and is a lifetime certification.
