Missouri Approves Hunting Deer with Atlatls
Missouri deer hunters will be able to hunt with atlatls this year. According to the Missouri Department of Conservation, atlatls have been legal since 2007 to hunt small and and nongame fish. This year, deer have been added. Atlatls can be used throughout the season except for the muzzleloader portion of the hunting season. Congratulations to the Missouri Atlatl Association for seeing this through!

The event is sponsored by the Waterman Conservation Center. Here’s information on the event: Waterman Conservation Center events

Nancy is director of the Lost River Museum.
