Anyone heard anything on Missouri Managed hunts yet?

[steve25]

Just curious if anyone has any info. Usaully they send the mailings out early. I haven't received anything yet but I hope I do.

Nothing in the mail yet, I believe the "official" date is the 11th??

[steve25]

yeah the 11th is the "offical" date but they always send the lucky winners their letters early, I just don't remember how early so I made this tread that way when they start going out we will know.

Good luck to ya!!!

You have to apply July 1st through the 15th of August and the drawing is held the first week or so in Sept. Lucky winners get the notice of being drawn in the mail by Sept 11 though theyusaually mail them out early.

I myself didn't put in for any managed hunts this year because I will be hunting in Arkansas too and just will not have time but I did put my too sons in fora youth hunt and this is the last year my oldest son will qualify do to age amdI really hope they get drawn we have been drawn in the past for this hunt and he really enjoyed it.

Hey Ranger,
As far as I know, you can hunt at just about any of the DNR areas, it's just that they hold the managed hunts that Steve is talking about in populated areas. Of course you have to hunt according to the state regulations.
Here's a link to the conservation atlas that is helpfull in locating the conservations areas.

And here's the link to hunting page of the MDC website.

Good luck-

I haven't seen anything. Should get the letter and map in the next couple of days though

I always check online on the 11th. I can't ever remember getting a letter prior to the deadline, but I hope I do if some you have previously.

Good luck to everyone.
