TOPEKA (KSNT) – Opportunities can be found across the Sunflower State to attend hunter education courses.
With big game hunting seasons just around the corner in Kansas, now is a good time to get hunter education out of the way. These courses are required for anyone born on or after July 1, 1957 in order to hunt in Kansas unless they are 15-years-old or younger, according to the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks (KDWP).
Kansas Game Wardens with the KDWP suggest finding available hunter education courses with safehunters.com. This site has a list of all upcoming hunter education courses in Kansas through 2023 and 2024. Below, you will find a list of courses still open for people to sign up to:
