ASH GROVE, Mo. — A sharp knife can go a long way on a hunting trip.
The public is invited to get information on how to sharpen their hunting knives at the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) program “Learning to Hunt: Blade Sharpening.”
The program will run 9-11 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 16 , at MDC’s Andy Dalton Shooting Range and Outdoor Education Center and will have virtual and in-person options for attendance.
MDC’s Dalton Range is located at 4897 Greene County Farm Road 61.
People can register for the in-person attendance option at the link here, or register for virtual attendance here.
At the program, MDC Community Education Assistant Brandy Morris will provide tips on how to sharpen a hunting knife, according to an MDC news release.
The release says a blunt knife will cut through meat or hide in a less efficient manner. Having a sharp knife that will provide quick, clean cuts is “imperative” to completing the final duties involved with a successful hunt.
Though this program is free, registration is required to participate.
