Property owners can get free deer hunting permits by submitting current info to MDC

Landowners who want to continue receiving free hunting permits may need to update property information they've previously submitted to Missouri Department of Conservation.

The department offers resident landowners with 20 or more contiguous acres and nonresident landowners with 75 or more contiguous acres no-cost or reduced-cost deer and turkey permits for hunting on their property.

"More than 90 percent of land in Missouri is privately owned and many landowners play a key role in maintaining healthy deer and turkey numbers by providing essential habitat," according to MDC.

Landowners must submit their property information using the MDC Landowner Permit Application to receive the permits.
