Importance of Managed Deer Hunts in Missouri
The Missouri Department of Conservation offers managed deer hunts to guide new and seasoned hunters through the tradition, which takes place from mid-September to mid-January.
These managed hunts, over 100 in total, are available for archery, muzzleloading, shotgun, and modern firearms, and are also provided to youth and disabled adults and youth.
According to the Missouri Department of Conservation, managed hunts are crucial for preventing harm to the ecosystem caused by overpopulation of deer, which can occur due to a lack of predators and hunting.
While Missouri state parks are typically wildlife refuges where hunting is not permitted, special managed hunts are conducted in cases of overpopulation to maintain a healthy ecosystem.
Deer population management has been a rapid issue across Missouri.
