     Nothing is more important than ensuring your loved ones return safe from their hunting trips. Achieving that goal is top priority of the Missouri Department of Conservation.Since 1957 they have been providing hunter education classes to enable residents to become safe responsible hunters. This training has helped to reduce hunter accident rate by 70 percent.

  • handles firearms safely
  • respects landowners and the their properties

  • and recognizes the importance of hunting and the role hunters play in wildlife management.

  • how firearms operate
  • safe hunting practices
  • hunting traditions and ethics
