HD 700

Residents buy the General Elk License over the counter; the resident license availability chart (p. 12) lists no application deadline for it, and residents may instead buy a Sportsman's License that includes one.

HD 700 (Missouri Breaks-Prairie), 2026 regulations p. 118: the elk section is headed 'Elk Hunting by Drawing Only' and the regulations list NO General Elk License row at all for this HD.

Under that heading the only entries are Elk B Licenses 007-00 and 700-00 and Elk Permits 700-20 and 700-21.

Elk hunting in HD 700 therefore requires a drawn license or permit; availability is recorded as 'draw' for that reason, not because of how the General Elk License itself is sold.

Residents must hold a General Elk License before applying for an elk permit (p. 16).

District NOTE: Public access to elk is limited and difficult.
