The MO Hunting application enables Missouri hunters, anglers, and trappers to purchase, view, and store annual hunting, fishing, and trapping permits and associated details, as well as view permits purchased during the previous year. This application will allow hunters to notch their permit and Telecheck their harvest directly from their deer or turkey permit within the application, using an easy-to-use form. MO Hunting also enables hunters to view all deer and turkey which they have previously checked and the associated details.
In order to log in to MO Hunting, users will need their Conservation Number. This 9-digit number can be found on the BACK of their Heritage Card, next to the bar code. This is different from the 16-digit number on the front of the card. Their Conservation Number can also be found on any current or previous permit. For more help locating their Conservation Number, users can call (573) 751-4115 during regular business hours, and ask for the permits office, or go to http://mdc.mo.gov/node/5127.
NOTE: Effective July 1, 2015, the Wildlife Code of Missouri requires hunters, anglers, and trappers to carry either a signed hard copy or an electronically signed digital copy of the prescribed permit with them while actively engaged in hunting, fishing, or trapping. The signed paper or digital copy of the permit should then be exhibited to any officer charged with the enforcement of this Code upon request, or to any transportation company or postal employee when presenting wildlife for shipment.
After harvesting a deer or turkey it is still necessary to immediately notch the month and date of harvest on your permit, which you can now do within the MO Hunting application. You must telecheck your harvest by 10:00 pm on the day of harvest, or prior to being removed from the state, and record the Telecheck confirmation number on your voided permit.
The app was a very convenient way to keep track of my permits and tags. However, the recent app update has caused it to basically lock me out of the app. It says I’m logged in but does not allow me to access anything and says I have no permits, although I do. It won’t allow me to see the “seasons” page or anything else related to the app. Hope they address this quickly as deer season is just over a month away.
Time to clean this app up(hint)!

And maybe we need to see about who’s in charge (or doesn’t need to be anymore). The mass numbers of vultures circling our roads prove that hunters have fallen behind in doing their job keeping the balance in nature. Watersheds are now foul with runoff from dead animals killed on roadways and dying from overcrowding diseases. The apex predators which man has replaced are regarded as too dangerous to mingle in suburban areas, (no bears in my backyard), so it is still an issue requiring hunters to control those populations. Yet anti-gun apartment dwellers who couldn’t feed themselves without paying for the preparation of ANYTHING edible, still live in a fairy tale dream land where nobody gets their hands dirty or bloody. We can’t let the anti-gun suckers, who are hypnotized by the pied piper political rhetoric pushed by our country’s ENEMIES, make fools of some mushy headed politicians about the hard facts of life. Hunters control the herds NOW. Hunters don’t just live in the country. Hunters have a right to protect themselves while hunting,( if you have ever awoken a grumpy 350 pound razorback hog from its nap you would realize quickly that the firearms limitations imposed by statute are what actually can get you killed or crippled). Foolishly, we have allowed a population of bears and 900 pound elk in rural areas which are a far greater menace to drivers than any deer, and a hazard to absolutely anybody walking trails in wooded areas. Hunters need to have the tools to do their job and adequately protect themselves. Lack of focus in keeping these tools, such as this app, smoothly operating hinder the people paying for all operations at the state conservation level. It has been some time since we have had to shake it up, but it certainly appears that leadership has fallen for some mushy headed thinking.

I'm sorry the app is not working as smoothly as you expect. The developers are looking into the rise in app crashes since the update in late April.

Login Bug??

I have tried logging in on this app for over 30 minutes now so I can go fishing. I’ve even deleted and reinstalled it to see if that would work. I’ve even tried calling the offices. Fix. Your. Crap! It appears it’s been doing this nonsense since the beginning of November, judging by the content of the reviews. Why is nothing being done to solve this?? I don’t have a paper copy of my resident fishing tags because I had the app. I would have to drive 30 minutes out of my way to go purchase a paper copy, which I SHOULD NOT have to do seeing as I have one but can’t access it. Having this app is amazingly convenient and five star worthy. When it works... 👀*** I originally wrote this review on November 25, 2017. STILL CANNOT LOGIN ON FEBRUARY 25, 2018! Thought I’d stop by and give a little update that THREE MONTHS LATER this crap of an app still isn’t working. ***
FANTASTIC !!!!

Absolutely the best! Our directors and board members should crowing as to how well this app helps Hunters and their families keep track of permits and helps with display of current permits without the need for using natural resources in paper. I can tell by reading the other most recent reviews that even the use of digital resources are going to be highly conserved. This app is showing a great outpouring of public opinion in its most recent reviews. (and thanks to the reviewers of the reviews at Apple the public doesn’t stand a chance of having any opinions which matter).
