Missouri Firearms Deer Hunting Opening Weekend – CWD Sampling

Missouri’s Deer Hunting Seasons begin this weekend and run through January 15th.  This year, due to COVID-19, the Chronic Wasting Disease testing is not required for the CWD Zones.  The testing is voluntary.

The Missouri Department of Conservation says the two-week firearms deer season that opens this Saturday and Sunday, Nov. 14-15, is when most of our deer are harvested.  Hunters in the CWD Management Zones are asked to have their animal sampled to assist in the data collection.
