Procedures to remember when harvesting game

Archery season for deer and turkey, and turkey firearms season is underway. 

Hunters are reminded of the procedures they need to follow before and after harvesting game. 

Prior to hunting, you must have your permits, as doing so after you harvest game is a violation. 

Be sure to ‘notch’ the date and month of the harvest. 

You can also do so through the MO Hunting App. 

Lastly, telecheck your harvest by phone, computer, or the app, another mandatory requirement which is separate from ‘notching’ your catch. 

Hunters are also reminded of Missouri’s bating regulations. 

For more information about telecheck procedures, baiting regulations, and other parts of deer and turkey hunting in Missouri, check out your 2023 Fall Deer and Turkey booklet.
