Think You Have a Record?
If you have trapped a large furbearer, let your regional office know. Browse the Regional Office Directory to find the office number.
The rules:
- Your record must be a legal furbearing species.
- It must be taken within the legal trapping/hunting/cable-restraint season each year.
- Record is for the weight only.
- Weights are recorded in the presences of an MDC staff member on a state registered scale.
- Locations of state registered scales are listed on the Missouri Department of Agriculture website
- Photos should be taken of the registered scale and the weight of the harvested furbearer, before being submitted to the MDC furbearer biologist
Records documented since 2011.
