Episode Details

Missouri’s deer conservation strategy is shifting gears—no more spotlight hunts or baited removals. Instead, the state is empowering hunters and landowners to help manage chronic wasting disease, a move born from months of public dialogue and a shared goal: protect deer herds and preserve hunting traditions. After pausing targeted removals in December to gather feedback, officials now see regular-season harvests as the key to slowing CWD’s spread while building trust. With infection rates creeping toward dangerous levels in some areas, the department’s focus is on collaboration, research, and staying agile. The message? Everyone’s in this together—because the future of Missouri’s deer depends on it.
