Jefferson City, Missouri - Now is a great time to purchase your hunting, fishing, and trapping permits for the fall seasons. The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) offers convenient ways of purchasing permits to help hunters, anglers, and trappers get to the field.
E-Permits
The Department’s e-Permit system enables hunters, anglers and trappers to purchase, print and immediately use all Missouri sport-hunting and sport-fishing permits, along with trapping permits and the Apprentice Hunter Authorization. Hunters, anglers and trappers can buy e-Permits online at mdc.mo.gov and print the paper permits 24/7 anywhere they have access to a computer and printer. Hunters, anglers and trappers can still buy permits from vendors, and by phone by calling toll-free 1-800-392-4115. Phone purchases are subject to a $2 processing fee and require up to a two-week wait time to receive the permits through U.S. mail. The fee for e-Permits is $1. There is no additional fee for permits purchased from vendors.
MO Hunting App
In addition, the Department is offering the new MO Hunting mobile application, which is available through Google Play and iTunes stores. MO Hunting enables Missouri hunters, anglers, and trappers to purchase and view annual hunting, fishing, and trapping permits, as well as view permits purchased during the previous year. The app will also allow deer and turkey hunters to telecheck their harvests directly from their related permit within the application through an easy-to-use fillable form. MO Hunting also enables hunters to view all deer and turkey which they have previously telechecked.
Duck Stamps
Duck stamps will be sold online in Missouri for the first time this year, giving hunters and retail vendors an alternative to buying/selling paper duck stamps. Hunters can buy the stamps at mo.wildlifelicense.com. The online option provides greater flexibility and convenience to waterfowl hunters. The US Fish and Wildlife Service selected Missouri, along with Louisiana, Michigan, North Carolina, and Virginia, to provide duck stamps through its federal e-Stamp option.
All Missouri permit vendors will offer electronic duck stamps, and the traditional purchase venues of the post offices, Department of Conservation offices, and nature centers will continue to carry the paper duck stamp.
Permits and duck stamps will no longer be sold at waterfowl conservation areas, except for Columbia Bottom Conservation Area. Since not all post offices or Conservation Department offices have the stamps, it’s a good idea to buy well in advance of hunting or call ahead about availability.
Retail vendors will be able to process the transaction for hunters. An electronic stamp, or e-Stamp, will be issued at the time of purchase, and a paper duck stamp will be sent through the mail.
Hunters can use their e-Stamps immediately and for 45 days following purchase. After 45 days, they must carry the paper duck stamp.
E-Stamps may be purchased from permit vendors for $17.50, which includes a $2.50 handling fee to cover the cost of processing and mailing the paper stamp. E-Stamps can also be purchased from the convenience of your home computer or mobile device for an additional $1 Internet service fee on your total online order.

Goodall is best known for her research on chimpanzee behavior, which laid the foundation for future study in the field of primatology and helped redefine the relationship between humans and animals.
In 1977, Goodall founded the Jane Goodall Institute, a global organization supporting primate research in Tanzania as well as community-centered conservation efforts in Africa. In 2002, Goodall was appointed to serve as a United Nations Messenger of Peace because of her work with her youth program, Roots & Shoots. She was named a Dame of the British Empire in 2003 for her service to conservation and the environment.
Goodall’s visit to MU is sponsored by the Delta Gamma Lectureship in Values and Ethics, Missouri Students Association/Graduate Professional Council Speakers Committee, Mizzou Advantage, the Chancellor’s Distinguished Visitor’s Fund, the Mizzou Alumni Association, the Organization Resource Group, the Distinguished Lecture Series and the Department of Student Life.

According to the event coordinator, MDC Naturalist Angela Pierce, no registration is required and all ages, youth, and adult groups are welcome. Activities include boat rides, live aquatic animal displays, Asian carp filleting demonstrations, kids’ crafts, and informational booths from many supporting agencies. Boat rides will take place every half hour (except from noon – 1 p.m.) at Riverfront Park. Pierce said this event will be fun for the whole family.
“Families can enjoy boat rides, practice casting a fishing pole, see and touch fish of the big river, and even taste an Asian carp,” Pierce said.
“The Mississippi River and surrounding wetlands are not only a huge part of Cape Girardeau heritage, but are also important habitats to diverse wildlife. This makes for excellent hunting and fishing opportunities,” Pierce said. “We hope lots of people will join us for this unique event to celebrate our amazing natural resources.”
For more information on this event and others offered at the MDC Cape Girardeau Conservation Nature Center, call 573-290-5218 or go online to mdc.mo.gov.
