A nonresident landowner needs 75 contiguous acres in Missouri to qualify for the landowner deer permit program. Missouri also requires landowner registration for these permits, and the permit applies to deer hunting on that qualifying property.
For context, Missouri’s resident landowner rule is different: residents need at least 20 contiguous acres to qualify for landowner permits, while nonresidents are held to the 75-acre threshold. The permit is not a general nonresident hunting license replacement, so a nonresident still needs the proper deer permit type and any other required licenses to hunt legally in the state.
