Anyone know where to take a Hunters Safety Course on the Coast anytime soon?

I'm in Jackson County (Ocean Springs). I'm trying to get a course for my 10 year old son. We'd like to go nutria hunting and hog hunting soon.

I know we can do the online course but the test must be taken at a testing site. The closest one is in McComb, 2-3 hours from me.

any help is greatly appreciated,

Chris

I just got off the phone with the MDWFP, Law Enforcement division. If the youth is less than 16 and will be hunting with a licensed adult, then there is no need for a license or a safety course. If the youth is between 12-16 and wants to hunt alone, s/he needs to take the course and get a youth exempt license. If the youth is older than 16, hunting with or without and adunlt hunting partner, s/he needs to complete the safety course and get the license.
