Elk Hunting Coming To Missouri

For the first time in Missouri History, the state is offering an elk-hunting season.

Officials with the Missouri Department of Conservation say they will be issuing four general permits for the public and a single permit for qualified landowners.

It will be broken into two sections, October 17^th through the 25^th will be for Archery while Firearms will be from December 12^th through the 20^th.

The permits will be valid for both times, but will be assigned through a lottery drawing.
