JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - The Missouri Department of Conservation is updating its white-tailed deer management plan and is seeking public feedback on the plan’s goals and objectives.
The revised plan aims to address deer population management, hunting and recreation, deer health and disease, education, communication, public engagement, and research.
White-tailed deer are a key wildlife resource in Missouri, with nearly half a million hunters pursuing them annually, boosting the state’s economy and supporting thousands of jobs.
Deer also attract numerous photographers and wildlife viewers to Missouri’s public lands.
The updated plan aims to address the spread of chronic wasting disease and declining deer hunter numbers while maintaining deer numbers at acceptable levels and providing educational resources about deer management.
The public can review and comment on the draft Deer Management Plan goals and objectives through Aug. 4 at mdc.mo.gov.
