Online hunter ed class
The Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks is now allowing the state’s hunters to complete a mandatory education course online.

The internet course, “Today’s Hunter in Mississippi,” can be found at the agency’s website, mdwfp.com. The class is video-narrated and interactive. The certificate from the online course can be presented as a digital or paper copy to license vendors to purchase a hunting license.

Residents under 16 who choose to take the internet course will still need to attend a three-hour classroom course before being certified.

The next classroom course offered in Warren County is scheduled for Oct. 19, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Fisher Ferry Fire Department on Lee Road. Registration for the classroom class must be done online at education.mdwfp.com/Web/Event/CountySelection.
