MDC warns about baiting regulations

The Missouri Department of Conservation wants to remind hunters to be aware of the baiting regulations during the fall deer and turkey hunting seasons.

The use of bait, including grain or other feed placed or scattered to attract deer or turkey, while hunting is illegal. The regulations are in place to help limit the spread of chronic wasting disease (CWD) in deer and to ensure fair chase. Additional rules apply if hunting in a CWD Management Zone. There are 30 counties in the management zone for the 2020-2021 deer seasons.

For more information on CWD and hunting regulations see the MDC's 2020 Fall Deer and Turkey Hunting Regulations and information Booklet. These are available where permits are sold or online at www.huntfishmdc.mo.gov.
