You must complete an approved hunter-education course before you can purchase an elk hunting permit unless you were born before Jan. 1, 1967. Note: Landowners are NOT exempt from this requirement for elk hunting permits.
If drawn, you may purchase your elk hunting permit beginning July 1 using any of the methods below.
If you lose your permit, simply download the MO Hunting app to your Android or Apple mobile device, log in with your Conservation ID number, and a valid, electronic version of your permit will appear on the app. Permits purchased online at home can be saved on a personal computer and reprinted for free. Replacement permits can also be purchased from any vendor for $2.
