The Barton County Sheriff’s office in conjunction with the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism will be host a Hunter safety class at the Sheriff’s Office, 1416 Kansas Ave. on Oct. 26 and 27.
Students must attend both days to receive a Hunter Safety Certificate. Classes will meet from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 26, with a one-hour lunch break. The class will continue from 1-5 p.m. on the following day.
Sheriff Brian Bellendir noted that anyone born after July 1, 1957, is required to obtain a Hunter Safety Certificate before buying a hunting license in the state of Kansas. “This is a public service offered by the Sheriff’s Office to assist the citizens of Barton County with the enjoyment of firearms and outdoor activities.”
Bellendir recommends signing up early as class size is limited.
