The next option is to pick up a Hunter Education book at the El Dorado Springs Office, complete the questions in the back and bring it to the skills portion. The completed book must be brought to the class on Sept. 22  if you decide to complete the knowledge portion with the book.

Step two is the skills portion, which is the class being offered on Sept.  22.

At the end of the skills portion attendees must pass a 35 question test which will cover both the knowledge and skills portions.
