Our 85th Annual Convention is coming up, March 1-6th, and will be all virtual. We will come together to pass resolutions that serve as CFM's stance on conservation issues, hear updates from conservation professionals, attend Natural Resource Breakouts, and spend an evening together awarding Missouri's top conservationists. Our virtual convention will also include our favorite auctions and raffles, so there is something for everyone.

The Governors Youth Turkey Hunt applications are due March 31st. This hunt is a cooperative effort between Governor Mike Parson, the Conservation Federation of Missouri, National Wild Turkey Federation, the Missouri Department of Conservation, state legislators, and a host of private landowners and other volunteers. In the spirit of what the Governors Youth Hunt represents, qualified applicants should be youths ages 10 to 15 that, ideally, are interested in giving hunting a try but have not yet had the opportunity.

The 2021 Regular Session of the General Assembly has begun. If you have not already, please sign up for our Legislative Action Center (LAC) to take action and stay up to date on legislation throughout the session.

Black Widow bows are unique in design and very complex to build. Lightning-fast limbs are tapered and tillered as only Black Widow bowyers know-how. The result of all this effort and expertise is a bow.. a legendary bow...a Black Widow bow...whose smoothness, stability, and speed will amaze you. As one of their satisfied customers put it, “It’s the only custom bow I’ve ever had, and I’ve had about all of them, that has everything I want. It’s fast, smooth, stable and beautiful too. And all in the same bow!” ... That about says it all.

The highlight of the convention is our list of amazing auction items. We are currently seeking donations for auction items from businesses and individuals like you. Your generous support helps us protect your outdoor passions. We will be using an online platform to showcase all the items. All the proceeds directly support our mission.

Please feel free to contact us to make donation arrangements or if you have questions. Contact Micaela Haymaker, Director of Operations, at mhaymaker@confedmo.org.
