This record does not carry 2 regulations the state has. The declarations below are the record's own words.
kind: callout — description: **The "What's New for 2026" box is not carried.** It is set in two columns that the text stream interleaves, so it cannot be read from this route without inventing sentences. Read off the rendered page, it announces EIGHT changes, and two of them are limits on what a hunter may do rather than pointers to another page: (1) a hunter using a Nonresident Archer's Hunting Permit and/or a Nonresident Firearms Any-Deer Hunting Permit **may now take only one antlered deer during the archery and firearms deer seasons combined** (see p.5) — a harvest cap this compilation states nowhere; and (2) **during Nov. 14-15, 2026** — two days inside the Firearms Deer November Portion published above — a hunter who harvests a deer in designated counties **must take the deer or its head to a mandatory CWD sampling station on the day of harvest** (see p.7). The other six: the CWD Management Zone has been removed though regulations still apply in some counties (pp.6-10, 68-69); the antler-point restriction has been removed for all counties; grain, salt, minerals and other consumable attractants are prohibited year-round in counties within 10 miles of a CWD detection (p.6); the CWD portion of firearms deer season has been removed; permit prices have increased (pp.16-19); and managed hunts and conservation-area rules have changed (pp.32-40, 42-55). **A hunter relying on last season's understanding would be wrong about all of them, and the first two are a bag limit and a duty, not a cross-reference.**
kind: cross-references — description: Three deer portions are qualified "In open counties" and the county lists are on pages 22 and 25, outside this extraction. A hunter cannot tell from this table whether their county is open for the antlerless portions.

Do not take our word for it. The document every row on this page was read out of is one tap away, and checking us against it is exactly what the citation, the sha256 and the source lines under each row are for.
Open the source document → https://mdc.mo.gov/sites/default/files/2026-06/2026%20FDT_508.pdf#page=72If that document says something this page does not, the document is the regulation and this page is wrong. The copy we read is the one whose sha256 is above; if the publisher has replaced the file since 2026-08-08, yours will not match ours, and that difference is the thing worth knowing.

That is the direction that ends in a citation, or in a hunter on ground the state has closed. Read the signals below before you use any row on this page.
Derived by rule from this record's own declared gaps, its own integrity fields and its own rows. It is not a score and there is no confidence number: the counts below count signals, nothing more.
overOVER: the gap names a restriction, requirement, closure or supersession the record does not carry [prohibition='prohibit', obligation='mandator', restriction='restrict', limit_or_quota='bag limit', antler_rule='antler-point', disease_or_bait='CWD']; a row read without it is broader than the regulation
unknowncannot be determined: the gap carries regulation but its description names neither a restriction nor an opportunity in terms this rule can read (kind='cross-references'). Boundary, map and definition gaps land here and belong here — not knowing which unit you are in cuts both ways
unknown1 page boundary/boundaries beside the cited range were never inspected. A table that continues past a citation loses whole rows — the missing rows could be further seasons (under) or the restrictions on the ones published (over), and this is the check five states went OFFLINE for skipping.
carries_regulation flag at face value. A gap mis-declared as non-regulatory is a silent miss.Current through — the document this record was read from, and nothing later than it:

We fetched it on 2026-08-08. That is our retrieval date, not a publication date.

Any effective, issue or adoption date the document states of itself is inside the citation above, in the publisher’s own words — nothing here lifts it out or restates it as a fact of ours.

These are not gaps.
The Booklet is not the law and is not an official edition of any state’s regulations: no state agency writes, reviews, publishes or approves it, and where a page here differs from the agency document it cites, the agency document is the regulation and this page is wrong.
It is an editorial compilation of state agency regulation documents: every row is carried verbatim out of one named document, cited by title, identified by the sha256 of the exact bytes we read, and printed beside the source lines it was read from.
