Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 18, September 16, 2024
PURPOSE: The proposed amendment clarifies the expectation to keep up to date records on a daily basis and to accommodate an online department-provided database for inventory records in the future.
With respect to requiring big game hunting preserves that include a breeding facility to comply with regulations pertaining to those facilities, if privileges are exercised, the same records should be required.
(1) Big game hunting preserve permittees shall keep a daily log that completely and accurately contains the number of each species held, acquired, propagated, released, taken, and the full name, address, and permit number (if applicable) of each buyer, seller, shooter, and/or taker, on forms provided by the department or on a department-provided database. Printed copies of these forms can be obtained from the Missouri Department of Conservation, PO Box 180, Jefferson City, MO 65102-0180 and online at www.missouriconservation.org. Big Game Hunting Preserve permit holders must establish and maintain a complete and accurate system of inventory for all acquired ungulates that includes the following for each animal: permanent physical identification, species, date of birth, gender, date of acquisition, complete address of source, complete address and name of both the current and previous owner, mortality date, cause of death (if known), official Chronic Wasting Disease test results as required in 3 CSR 10-9.565(1)(B) 5., method and location of carcass disposal, and the numbers from the Licensed Hunting Preserve Permit of the hunter and locking leg seal (if applicable). All applicable state and federal animal health and movement records (including certificates of veterinary inspection), inventory records, breeder inventory records, if applicable, and testing records shall be maintained on the premises of the licensed big game hunting preserve for at least five (5) years and shall be subject to inspection and copying by a conservation agent at any reasonable time.
(2) Game bird hunting preserve permittees shall keep a complete, accurate, and permanent record of the number of each species acquired, propagated, sold, released, the number of each species taken, and the full name and address of the taker.
(3) These records and applicable state and federal animal health records and permits for each animal shall be maintained on the premises of the licensed hunting preserve and shall be subject to inspection by an authorized agent of the department at any reasonable time.
