A Kansas hunter education class will be offered in Iola Aug. 28-29 by the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks. Completing a hunter education class is required by Kansas law to be able to hunt in the state.
KDWP National Resource Officer Ben Womelsdorf is the instructor. The class will be at the Allen County Courthouse assembly room, 1 N. Washington Ave. in Iola. Enter the west doors and go downstairs.
The class is free and runs 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Aug. 28 and from noon-5 p.m. Aug. 29. There will be a break at noon on the first day for lunch.
Students must attend both sessions and pre-register by calling 620-431-0380. Students must be 11 or older to attend.
The Kansas law regarding hunter education requirements changed in 2005.
No one under 12 may hunt by themselves regardless of hunter education certification status or 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 age 12 through 15 may hunt by themselves provided they possess a hunter education card.
