Reminder From MDC
Regarding CWD

The Missouri Department of Conservation has released a press release refreshing hunters on CWD policies before hunting season begins. Remember that ALL deer harvested within 34 of the CWD Management Zones during the opening weekend of firearms season must be taken to a CWD sampling station. To see which counties are in CWD Management Zones, find CWD sampling stations near you, and learn more about CWD, visit MDC's website HERE.

God and the Great Outdoors
