Gary, here are the relevant Missouri Statutes regarding carrying a concealed firearm while "also in possession of an exposed firearm or projectile weapon in the lawful pursuit of game":

3. Subdivisions (1), (5), (8), and (10) of subsection 1 of this section do not apply when the actor is transporting such weapons in a nonfunctioning state or in an unloaded state when ammunition is not readily accessible or when such weapons are not readily accessible. Subdivision (1) of subsection 1 of this section does not apply to any person twenty-one years of age or older transporting a concealable firearm in the passenger compartment of a motor vehicle, so long as such concealable firearm is otherwise lawfully possessed, nor when the actor is also in possession of an exposed firearm or projectile weapon for the lawful pursuit of game, or is in his or her dwelling unit or upon premises over which the actor has possession, authority or control, or is traveling in a continuous journey peaceably through this state. Subdivision (10) of subsection 1 of this section does not apply if the firearm is otherwise lawfully possessed by a person while traversing school premises for the purposes of transporting a student to or from school, or possessed by an adult for the purposes of facilitation of a school-sanctioned firearm-related event.

In Missouri, it is perfectly lawful for a person WITHOUT a valid CCW permit to carry concealed firearms on or about his or her person, as long as he or she is, A)lawfully entitled to possess such weapons, and B) also in possession of an exposed firearm or projectile weapon for the lawful pursuit of game. People who possess a valid CCW permit may carry concealed firearms on or about their person anywhere within the state, whether they are hunting or not, save for areas where such carry is prohibited by Federal Law.
Just this year, we amended our wildlife code to allow CCW permit holders to carry their concealed firearms while they are taking part in our Fall Archery Deer and Turkey season, bringing our wildlife code into conformation with our state firearms statutes. Specifically, the new portion of our code now reads:
Quote:
