If you’re after a big buck, and let’s be honest, who isn’t – look at the northwestern part of the state. Northern Missouri is producing monstrous whitetail bucks due to an 8 point antler restriction rule implemented by the Missouri Department of Conservation in 2010. Shelby and Knox Counties are well known as the best areas for Missouri whitetail hunting.
NO DRAW! Missouri deer hunting tags are available over the counter.
It’s also the only state in the Midwest where hunters can rifle hunt during the peak of the rut!
Missouri has over-the-counter tags and good archery and rifle deer hunting seasons, as well as a late muzzleloader hunt. You can hunt with a crossbow during the archery season.
- Archery Season: Last week October through the first few weeks of November
- Rifle Season: Mid November
- Muzzleloader Season: December
