I just wanted to post this article today, because it is, once again, that time of the year, when Missourians, need to purchase hunting and/or fishing permits! Missouri permits expire after February 28!
This also applies to non resident permits as well. According to the Missouri Conservation Department the prices of permits for hunting and fishing are as follows:
Youth 15 and under, not required to have a license and Youths 65 or older are not required to have a license, unless they are trout fishing, and then are required to have a daily tag or a trout stamp, depending on what waters they are fishing.
Those people 16 - 65 are required to have a fishing and/or hunting permit, and also must have a daily trout tag or yearly trout stamp.
Resident fishing license - daily fishing permit = $7.00
Resident Fishing annual permit = $12.00
Resident huntin and fishing annual permit combo =$19.00
non resident fishing annual permits =$42.00
I searched the whole site over and couldn't find a price on non resident hunting and fishing combo so you will have to contact the Conservation department for the details on that!
These are just the general guidelines of permit requirements, and there are more details on the exact regulations on the MDOC website.
So for the time being enjoy your 2009 permits while you can and if you can, weather permitting of course! March 1 will be here soon and this is why I am reminding everyone to make sure not to forget to purchase and possess your permits, before then!
Permit Obligations
Accepting a permit means that you: agree to observe all the rules of the Wildlife
Code;
1 will not loan your permit to another;
2 will allow inspection of your permit, picture identification, catch and
equipment by an agent of the Conservation Department;
3 will carry your permit while fishing.
If you ordered your permit by telephone or on the internet and have not received
it by mail, you must carry the permit authorization number and picture
identification with you while fishing until your permit arrives.
