OUTDOORS: Permit Costs Might Rise Slightly

The Missouri Department of Conservation has announced potential price adjustments for many hunting and fishing permits to take effect in 2025.The present permit prices have been mostly the same for several years, while the cost of doing conservation work has increased significantly.For 2025, the MDC is proposing small increases to most non-resident permit prices and a few resident permit prices.The resident permit prices to see relatively-small increases would be for the daily fishing permit (from $8 to $9), the annual trout fishing tag (from $10 up to $12), the youth trout tag (from $5 to $6), the daily hunting permit (from $14.50 to $15), and the migratory bird permit (from $6.50 up to $7.50).The price increase proposal would affect 13 non-resident permits, but those increases also are minimal at $11.50 or less.The department is seeking public comments about these proposed price increases during a comment period from July 2 to Aug.
