The conservation department's managed waterfowl hunts are coming up for reservations.
Missouri Department of Conservation announced the pre-season reservation period will be Sept. 1-18 with results posted Oct. 1. Application periods open the Tuesday before and closes the Monday of the draw at 3 p.m.
Missouri residents and qualifying non-residents, like out-of-state students or military members stationed in the state, can apply online for a reservation to hunt on a specific day in a certain area.
"Residents and nonresidents can also arrive at a managed waterfowl hunting area the morning they wish to hunt and wait in line for the possibility of getting a hunting spot," according to MDC.
