MISSOURI (KFVS) - The Missouri Department of Conservation shared a plan for a limited elk hunting season at a public meeting on Friday, June 28.
The Missouri Conservation Commission gave its initial approval of the proposed plan, and the MDC is asking for public comments.
According to MDC Elk and Deer Biologist Aaron Hildreth, the MDC will start offering a limited season for hunting elk once the herd of about 175 animals reaches a minimum of 200 with an annual herd growth rate of at least 10 percent and a herd ratio of at least four cow elk for every bull elk.
According to MDC research, the herd will likely reach 200 animals by 2020. With that in mind, the MDC designated a nine-day archery season for elk on Oct. 17-25, 2020, and a nine-day firearms season for elk on Dec. 12-20, 2020.
Hildreth noted the number of permits for a possible 2020 hunt has yet to be determined.
The MDC hopes to eventually reach a target population of 500 animals and will use hunting to manage herd size and location.

The Department is asking for public comment on the proposed elk hunting framework through August 31 by clicking here. The Commission will consider the input and make a final decision to move forward, modify or withdraw the proposed framework during its Oct. 11 meeting.
If the framework is approved, MDC staff will determine if the inaugural hunt will occur in 2020. If the data supports a hunt by then, staff will then present their recommendations on permit numbers to MDC's Regulations Committee and Conservation Commission in early 2020.

I'm ready, I still have all my elk calls... I used one for a turkey locator call earlier this year
Semantics.Did they fence them in? Last time I went over there I didn't see a high fence.
What does high fence hunting have to do with the proposed elk season. Pecks ranch has no containment fence around it. They are free to roam 24/7/365. Second year they introduced them I got a herd on camera about 6 miles from Pecks Ranch on public ground. I about hit a cow with a collar near Elsinore a few years ago. Local MDC agent said collared bulls have been tracked as far away as Piedmont. They aren't penned up by any means.Bet there will be boo coo people falling all over theirselves to apply that have RAILED against high fence/captive deer hunting.
So why start hunting at 200 ..when they want to reach 500 animals ?
I imagine they dont think removing a few bulls will slow herd growth
This is good news For Johnny !!!
Chances are the avg guy wont be able to afford a tag. Probably raffel it off or sell it to a tv hunter or politician.
MDC and RMEF heads will get first tags
Tags are 50 bucks.Chances are the avg guy wont be able to afford a tag. Probably raffel it off or sell it to a tv hunter or politician.
there is no mention of governors tags. EACH OF US SHOULD HAVE THE SAME SLIM CHANCE , IF WE GET A TAG WE ARE DONE FOR 10 YEARS. But in appreciation to landowners there will be a land owner tag in the mix each year. a lucky landowner receiving that tag does not have to wait 10 years for another one.Chances are the avg guy wont be able to afford a tag. Probably raffel it off or sell it to a tv hunter or politician.
IT SOUND LIKE TAG APPLICATIONS ARE 10 DOLLAR WITH NO REFUND. THAT IS WHERE SOME MONEY WILL BE.Tags are 50 bucks.
I don't think there should be any youth tags. Make the minimum age 21. The kids can wait.
