Bowhunting - Discover Nature (KRCG)

The Missouri Department of Conservation encourages you to get outside and discover nature on a fall bow hunt.
It has been over half-a-century since Missourians took up the bow and arrow for modern-day deer hunts.
Only 73 archers participated in the first archery season, a 3 day, bucks-only season in Crawford county.
Today, more than 180,000 archers hunt in the Show-Me state and enjoy more than a 90 day statewide season.
Archery hunting is a challenging pursuit that requires accurate shots.
Three types of bow are allowed for hunting: longbows, compound bows, and recurve bows of any draw weight.
Additionally, hunters can use atlatls, hand-held string-releasing devices and illuminated sights and scopes.
Now available for all hunters, MO hunting — the conservation department’s new mobile app.
It enables Missouri hunters to purchase and view annual permits and allows deer and turkey hunters to telecheck their harvests.
The 2014 archery deer and turkey season runs from September 15th thru November 14th and November 26 thru January 15th.
