When you’re on the go, there’s nothing better than a helpful app, so the Missouri Department of Conservation pulled resources together in order to create MO Hunting, which allows hunters to purchases their hunting licenses, share harvest results, and view harvests and permits from previous years.

The app was just released at the end of 2014 and the Missouri Department of Conservation is eager to hear feedback from users to help make improvements and inform additions that will be made with future iterations of the app.
