Deer Season Reminders: Operation Game Thief

As the weather gets cooler and deer movement ramps up, it is a good time to remember what to do if you come across an individual poaching. Poaching is the taking of wildlife outside of season, without the proper permit, or in other violation of the Wildlife Code of Missouri. It hurts Missouri Wildlife and those who appreciate it as hunters, anglers, and nature watchers. If you witness or suspect a wildlife violation in Monroe County, please report it to your local conservation agent Jessica Filla at (660) 651-0218 or call the OGT 24-hour, toll-free number 1-800-392-1111 to remain anonymous.
