A lot of times it's easy to forget what great exhibits the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) provides each year at the Missouri State Fair. This year will be no different!
Like so many local, county and state fairs that didn't run last year across not only Missouri but also the U.S., this year's Smithton Town and Country Fair is back, and revised!
Elk, the second largest member of the deer family (after the moose) are the subject of hunters in Missouri. Five names were drawn for the managed hunt this fall and winter. The five lucky Missourians randomly drawn were from 9,714 permit applications, including one drawn from 84 resident-landowners who applied and 9,630 from other Missourians.
