Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 14, July 15, 2024
PURPOSE: This rule establishes methods of obtaining
				  permits, restrictions on use, obligations, and validity.
(1) Permits may be obtained only upon
				satisfaction of all requirements imposed by this Code and state statute,
				including payment of fees and provision of Social Security number, at the time
				of application.
(2) A permit for
				the taking of wildlife or the harvesting of ginseng may be issued only to an
				individual and may be used only by the individual to whom it is issued. No
				permit, application for permit, method exemption, Missouri Conservation
				Heritage Card, or special hunting or fishing tag may be loaned, predated,
				falsified, altered, or misrepresented in any manner, except that a Missouri
				Conservation Heritage Card may be presented by another to purchase permits on
				behalf of the person named thereon. No firearms hunting permit shall be issued
				without containing the hunter education certificate card number where
				applicable.
(3) The acceptance of a
				permit, privilege, or method exemption shall constitute an acknowledgement of
				the duty to comply with the provisions of this Code and to pursue wildlife in a
				safe manner. All permits and privileges are conditioned upon such
				compliance.
(4) Any person born on
				or after January 1, 1967, shall obtain and display an approved hunter education
				certificate card prior to purchase of any firearms hunting permit, except as
				exempted in 3 CSR 10-5.205. Any person
				purchasing a firearms hunting permit for another person who is required to be
				hunter education certified must display a valid hunter education certificate
				card bearing the name of the person for whom the permit is being purchased. A
				hunter education card need not be displayed if certification can be verified
				through direct access to computer data files. Hunter education certification
				shall be verified by permit vendors on all firearms hunting permits, except as
				exempted in 3 CSR 10-5.205. Hunter education
				certification shall be limited to persons eleven (11) years of age or older.
				Black bear and elk hunting permits may be obtained only by residents of
				Missouri eleven (11) years of age or older that have obtained an approved
				hunter education certificate card or were born before January 1, 1967, except
				as exempted in 3 CSR
				10-5.205(1)(K). The Missouri
				Conservation Permit Card will be issued as a replacement for lost or damaged
				hunter education certificate cards. Fee: five dollars ($5).
(5) Permits are nontransferable and are valid
				from the date of purchase through the last day of February of the prescribed
				permit year, except the Migratory Bird Hunting Permit, the Resident Ginseng
				Harvester Permit, the Nonresident Ginseng Harvester Permit, the Resident
				Trapping Permit, and the Nonresident Furbearer Hunting and Trapping Permit
				shall be valid through June 30. Except as provided for permits purchased by
				telephone, no affidavit, receipt, or other document may be issued or used in
				lieu of the required permit. Temporary permit authorization number(s) allowing
				immediate use of permit privileges may be provided for permits (except black
				bear, deer, elk, and turkey permits) purchased through the department's
				authorized telephone sales service provider. The temporary permit authorization
				number(s) and picture identification must be carried at all times while
				hunting, fishing, or trapping until the actual permit(s) is received. Any
				permit issued or obtained by false statement or through fraud, or while
				privileges are revoked or denied by the commission, shall be invalid.
