## What is MO Hunting?

The MO Hunting application enables Missouri hunters, anglers, and trappers to purchase, view, and store annual hunting, fishing, and trapping permits and associated details, as well as view permits purchased during the previous year. This application will allow hunters to notch their permit and Telecheck their harvest directly from their deer or turkey permit within the application, using an easy-to-use form. MO Hunting also enables hunters to view all deer and turkey which they have previously checked and the associated details.
 
In order to log in to MO Hunting, users will need their Conservation Number. This 9-digit number can be found on the BACK of their Heritage Card, next to the bar code. This is different from the 16-digit number on the front of the card. Their Conservation Number can also be found on any current or previous permit. For more help locating their Conservation Number, users can call (573) 751-4115 during regular business hours, and ask for the permits office, or go to http://mdc.mo.gov/node/5127.
 
NOTE: Effective July 1, 2015, the Wildlife Code of Missouri requires hunters, anglers, and trappers to carry either a signed hard copy or an electronically signed digital copy of the prescribed permit with them while actively engaged in hunting, fishing, or trapping. The signed paper or digital copy of the permit should then be exhibited to any officer charged with the enforcement of this Code upon request, or to any transportation company or postal employee when presenting wildlife for shipment.
 
After harvesting a deer or turkey it is still necessary to immediately notch the month and date of harvest on your permit, which you can now do within the MO Hunting application. You must telecheck your harvest by 10:00 pm on the day of harvest, or prior to being removed from the state, and record the Telecheck confirmation number on your voided permit.

### 1/5 — Connection Error

*2026-03-09, version 2.17.2*

Can no longer sign in to app just gives a connection error even though I am online making the app useless.

### 1/5 — Can’t login

*2025-11-13, version 2.17.0*

For month I just get a connection error when trying to login even though I’m obviously online

### 1/5 — Login Error

*2025-11-04, version 2.17.0*

Can’t log in. It continues to give me an error.

### 1/5 — Unusable

*2025-09-02, version 2.17.0*

Last few seasons the app has worked great, making it very easy and simple to check permits (the actual site is a nightmare) and also to telecheck deer versus using the phone system. Now, as other reviews have noted, when signing in there is an error every time that states to check my internet connectivity and try again. Changing networks, reinstalling the app, nothing works. What was once an indispensable tool is now functionally useless.

### 1/5 — Not good

*2025-09-01, version 2.17.0*

I can never get this app to work. I even updated it and it still won’t work.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work anymore

*2025-08-10, version 2.17.0*

Doesn’t work anymore

### 2/5 — No longer works

*2025-05-29, version 2.16.1*

Used to be a great app seems to no longer work. Have to manage my permits through my computer now.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2025-04-08, version 2.16.0*

I’ve deleted the app twice like Jeff city said too once I realized it’s not working. And it just says to check my internet connection

### 1/5 — Was amazing

*2024-12-02, version 2.16.0*

Was nearly a perfect app, could have all your permits directly at your fingertips, but now you can’t even login. Stuck in an endless loop of check connection. Would give 0 stars if I could, you would think with the mo conservative department being so well funded they would have fixed this issue in a timely manner. Can’t trust gov officials or employees to do anything these days unfortunately.

### 1/5 — Locked out

*2024-11-22, version 2.16.0*

Have used the app for years with no issue, but then the day before firearm season I bought my tag and went to check on the app, and it never showed. So I then did what the app told me to in the situation and logged out just to not be able to log back in
