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.
