Drawing Procedures

On 12 areas managed intensively for waterfowl, a statewide system is used to allocate the available hunting opportunity—half as reservations for Missouri residents chosen through random drawing, and half to walk-in (also known as “poor line”) hunters who sign a waiting list upon arrival.

Waterfowl Online Reservation System

Who may apply: Missouri residents possessing a conservation ID number. The nine digit Conservation ID# appears on the top of your hunting permit or on the back of your Heritage Card next to the bar code. You must have this number ready when you call. A hunter may apply for anyone living in his/her immediate household, but the reservation holder must be present at the hunt for the reservation to be valid. For specific questions about waterfowl hunting areas, call your local Missouri Department of Conservation office or see the Waterfowl Areas and Features page.
