After you have provided the required information, you will be given an eight digit confirmation number that verifies you have legally checked your bear.

Write this number on your permit and attach it to the bear.

All successful bear hunters MUST submit a premolar (tooth) from their harvested bear within 10 days of harvest.

Extract the very small tooth found directly behind either of the upper or lower canines, keeping the root intact. Do not break it at the gum line.
* Remove excess flesh
* Wrap the tooth in tissue paper or foil.
* Place it in a sealed envelope labeled with your full name, address, the date harvested, and the Telecheck confirmation number.
* If your tooth will be submitted through the mail or shipped, you must place your labeled envelope that contains the wrapped tooth, into a separate mailing envelope.

Deliver your tooth in person or by mail to:

Furbearer Program
3500 East Gans Road
Columbia, MO 65201

NOTE: If your bear is missing all premolars, please contact your local Conservation Agent.
