Prior noticeCheck permit conditions. Even if not
expressly required to do so, you should always contact the manager of
that particular state land unit or with the owner of private land
before your arrival. You want to be aware of the hunting seasons, and,
of course want to be sure that your activities will not interfere with
the activities of that park, wildlife management area, or other state
land unit, and that your activities will not adversely affect public
use of the land or with the activities of private landowners.

Relevant sections of the Missouri Code of State Regulations
3 CSR 10-9.425 Wildlife Collector’s Permit
PURPOSE: This rule establishes a permit under which wildlife may be taken for scientific purposes.
(1) A permit to collect, possess, mount, or preserve wildlife for scientific related purposes:
(A) Wildlife Collector’s Permit for Scientific Purposes. Wildlife
collector’s permits may be granted to an authorized representative of a
university, college, school, incorporated city, state or federal
agency, publicly owned zoo, or wildlife or research organization or
other qualified individual; provided, that the collection shall be used
exclusively for scientific, educational or museum purposes. Fee: five
dollars ($5).
(B) Wildlife Collector’s Permit for Special Collections of Wildlife.
Wildlife collector’s permits may be issued to professionally qualified
individuals who charge a fee for biological studies for specific
projects where the potential results are of sufficient public value and
interest to justify special collection of wildlife. Fee: fifty dollars
($50).
(2) General Requirements for Permit Holders. Species and numbers of
each to be collected and collecting methods are limited to those
specified on the permit. Advance notification shall be given to the
conservation agent or Protection Division regional supervisor in the
county or area as to where and when the collecting will be done. The
permit holder’s name, address and wildlife collector’s permit number
shall be on all trapping and netting devices. The traps, nets or other
devices used under this permit shall be attended at least daily, or be
constantly attended if so stated on the permit. The collected specimens
shall be donated to a museum or educational institution or disposed of
in accordance with instructions of the director. Wildlife held under a
wildlife collector’s permit may be propagated but shall not be sold or
exhibited commercially. When holding live specimens, permit holders are
required to adhere to wildlife confinement standards set forth in 3 CSR
10-9.220. The names and addresses of persons collecting under the
direct supervision of the holder of the permit shall accompany the
application for the permit. Field collection must be conducted under
the in-person supervision of the permit holder. This permit does not
relieve the holder of full compliance with other provisions of the Code
or other state and federal requirements.
(3) The wildlife collector’s permit is not valid until signed by the
permit holder. The permit is valid for one (1) year from January 1. The
permit holder shall submit a wildlife collector’s permit report to the
department within thirty (30) days of the permit’s expiration date.
Issuance of permits for the following year shall be conditioned on
compliance with this Code, specified conditions of the permit and
receipt of a satisfactory wildlife collector’s permit report.
Department volunteers, working on authorized wildlife collection
projects, are exempt from the requirements of this section.
