MDC Releases 2016 Dates for Deer & Turkey Hunting Seasons

The Missouri Department of Conservation has received the green light from the Missouri Conservation Commission regarding deer and turkey hunting seasons for the New Year and the implementation of certain regulation changes. Spring turkey season will be April 18th through May 8th while fall firearms turkey season will be October 1st through the 31st. Fall firearms deer season, November portion, will run November 12th through the 22nd while firearms deer antlerless portion will only be three days from December 2nd through the 4th. That is one of the regulation changes for 2016 as the MDC recommended the antlerless portion be reduced from 12 to 3 days. Additional information on hunting dates, changes in regulation and public survey opportunities can be found on the MDC’s website.
