Would-be hunters in Kansas can now take their hunter education course online.

According to the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism, the new Internet-assisted course will allow students to complete their classwork at home. After a student completes the Internet education they will be able to attend a field day to complete their final test and earn their certification.

Those who prefer to learn in a classroom setting can still sign up for a traditional hunter education course. Traditional courses are usually held over two to three days, totaling 10 hours of class time.

Classes can be found at ksoutdoors.com. Students must be 11 or older to be certified. However, hunters 15 or younger may hunt without hunter education certification provided they are under the direct supervision of an adult 18 or older. Otherwise, anyone born on or after July 1, 1957 must be certified by an approved course before they can hunt in Kansas.
