SOME NONRESIDENT DEER HUNTERS TO BE LIMITED TO ONE ANTLERED BUCK IN MISSOURI
The Missouri Conservation Commission has approved proposed regulation changes from the Missouri Department of Conservation regarding nonresident deer hunting.
According to MDC Officials, the approved regulation change for the upcoming 2026 deer season reduces the nonresident antlered buck bag limit from two to one. Nonresident landowners who qualify for nonresident-landowner permits will maintain an antlered buck bag limit of two.
The Commission also gave initial approval to a regulation change that would require nonresident deer hunters to purchase a Nonresident Public Land Deer Hunting Permit for $165 to be able to pursue, take, possess, and transport deer on public land in Missouri.
The Commission will review public comments before giving final consideration to the proposed permit regulation changes at its September 11th open meeting. Comments can be submitted online beginning July 16th at mdc.mo.gov.
