Apply online for managed deer hunts beginning July 1

By Missouri Department of Conservation

Beginning July 1, deer hunters can apply online for a shot at more than 100 managed deer hunts.

The hunts are available throughout the state for archery, muzzleloading and modern firearms from mid-September through mid-January at conservation areas, state and other parks, national wildlife refuges and other public areas.

Some managed hunts are held specifically for youth or for people with disabilities. The managed deer hunt application period is July 1 to 31, and hunters are selected by a weighted random drawing.

Draw results will be available Aug. 15 through Jan. 15. Applicants who are drawn will receive area maps and other hunt information by mail.

Details about managed hunts can also be found in MDC's "2019 Fall Deer & Turkey Hunting Regulations and Information" booklet, available in early July at MDC offices and nature centers, permit vendors and online.
