JEFFERSON CITY-Young Missourians who have completed hunter education
training can show what they have learned at regional Youth Hunter Education

Jan Morris, who coordinates Missouri's YHEC program for the National Rifle
Association, said regional events will be held March 19 in Kansas City,
central and northeastern Missouri, March 26 in Southeastern and northwestern

The competition is open to Missourians through age 18. Participants compete

identification, and a hunter safety trail. Regional winners qualify to
compete in the state YHEC event, whose winners advance to the national
competition. Participation in regional events is free.
