Deer hunters itching to get started can take some action beginning Sunday – apply for a managed hunt permit. Joe Jerek of the Missouri Department of Conservation says there are plenty of hunts to choose from including events for hunters with disabilities.

Jerek says applications will be accepted until August 15th. A drawing will determine which hunters get permits. They’ll be notified in mid-September. Permits cover a variety of ways to take a deer, from archery to crossbow to muzzleloader to modern firearms. For more information click here.
