CHANUTE The Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism is offering a free hunter education class at the Elks Lake, 24410 Elk Rd. 6:30-9:30 p.m. Sept. 7 and 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Sept. 8.
Saturday afternoon is outdoors so students should dress accordingly. Students should bring a sack lunch and drinks because the lunch break will be short.
While the class is free, students must attend all sessions and pre-register online at www.safehunters.com.
Class size is limited.
Students must be 11 years or older to be certified.
Kansas law mandates no one under the age of 12 may hunt by themselves regardless of hunter education certification status, even if they are hunting on private land.
No one under 16 may hunt by themselves unless under supervision of an adult 18 or older, except those ages 12 through 15, if they have successfully completed a hunter education class.
