Antlerless Deer Season

Allows hunters to put management skills to work.

OUTDOORS:

Hunters across southeast Missouri are gearing up for antlerless deer seasonโ€”with more than just meat on the line.

 

In a recent Leader article, John Winkelman highlights how early season doe harvest can help manage deer populations and even reduce the spread of chronic wasting disease (CWD). (Leader Publications)

 

Winkelman points out that the National Deer Association, via a 2012 piece by Lindsay Thomas Jr., still offers sound strategies for early-season harvesting: lower deer wariness, clearer age/sex class distinction, and shifting buck/doe ratios before the rut. (Leader Publications)

 

He also notes that while Missouriโ€™s statewide deer count hovers near two million, well-timed doe harvests can relieve pressure on habitat. (Leader Publications)
