Hunter education certification shall be limited to persons eleven (11) years of age or older.

The Missouri Conservation Permit Card will be issued as a replacement for lost or damaged hunter education certificate cards. Fee: five dollars ($5).(5) Permits are nontransferable and are valid from the date of purchase through the last day of February of the prescribed permit year, except the Migratory Bird Hunting Permit, the Resident Ginseng Harvester Permit, the Nonresident Ginseng Harvester Permit, the Resident Trapping Permit, and the Nonresident Furbearer Hunting and Trapping Permit shall be valid through June 30.
