MDC PROPOSES ADJUSTING HUNTING AND FISHING PERMIT PRICES
The Missouri Department of Conservation has announced a proposal for adjusting prices for most hunting, fishing, trapping, and commercial permits.
MDC Director Sara Parker Pauley says that on average, most resident hunting and fishing permit prices would be adjusted by about one dollar.
The MDC says that most permit prices have remained the same for the past 20 years while costs for goods and services have increased significantly since then.
The MDC received initial approval on the proposed permit price adjustments from the Missouri Conservation Commission at the Commission’s May 19th open meeting.
Officials added that additional revenue from permit sales will help the MDC maintain and improve its nationally recognized programs and services for hunters, anglers, wildlife watchers, and others.
Public comments will be accepted about the proposed adjustments on mdc.mo.gov.
The MDC will then compile comments received and share them with the Commission prior to the September 8th Commission open meeting when it will give final consideration to the proposed permit price adjustments. If approved, the changes would become effective February 29th of next year.
