Raccoon hunting at Mingo Refuge

Wednesday, August 23, 2017

Mingo National Wildlife Refuge is now accepting applications for raccoon hunting on the refuge for the 2018 season. The application period ends Sept. 30, 2017. The raccoon hunts will take place through a random draw process in which parties will be issued a free Special Use Permit that outlines their hunt area and hunt dates. A total of four raccoon hunt periods will take place at Mingo during the Missouri statewide Furbearer Season of November 15, 2017 - January 31, 2018. The number of hunt party slots will remain the same as the previous raccoon hunt, but the dates have been condensed. To be considered for the random draw to raccoon hunt at Mingo, interested parties must fill out a Mingo Raccoon Hunt Application. The application can be found on the refuge website at www.fws.gov/refuge/mingo/visitor_activities/hunting.html, refuge Facebook page at www.facebook.com/MingoNWR, or at the front desk of the Mingo Visitor Center. The applications must be received by close-of-business Sept. 30, 2017. The random draw to select the parties will take place at the Mingo Visitor Center on Tuesday, October 3, 2017 at 10:00 a.m. Applicants do not need to be present during the draw to be selected for one of the hunts.
