The Missouri Department of Conservation is reminding waterfowl hunters to make reservations online for Conservation Department-managed waterfowl hunts in the fall.
Hunters can make reservations online from Sept. 1-18. Reservations are required to guarantee an opportunity to hunt on the Conservation Department's 13 intensively managed wetland conservation areas, according to the news release.
There are three ways to obtain a hunting spot on a managed waterfowl hunting area, according to the news release:
- Missouri residents may apply online for a reservation, which guarantees successful applicants a place to hunt on a specific day in a specific area.
- Residents and nonresidents can hunt with a reservation holder for hunting parties of up to four people.
- Residents and nonresidents can arrive at a managed waterfowl hunting area and draw for a spot in the morning drawing or "poor line."
More information about the managed waterfowl hunts can be found on the Conservation Department's website.
