Interested hunters are asked to retain a wing and 3-5 feathers from the breast after Telechecking their turkey. 

They will then be mailed a feather submission packet, including a postage-paid return envelope to submit feathers at no cost. To receive a feather submission packet, register at mdc.mo.gov/turkeyfeathers.
