After Successful Start,
Deer Hunters Still Have Time
|
Missouri deer hunters have experienced much success this season, but there is still plenty of time left to hunt. The November portion of firearms season has come and gone, but archery season remains open through Jan. 15. The firearms antlerless season is Dec. 2-4, and firearms alternative methods season is Dec. 24 through Jan. 3.
With temperatures soaring into the high 70s across much of Missouri during the November portion of the firearms season, one might have figured our statewide deer harvest would be down significantly, but that wasn't the case. According to the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC), deer hunters in Missouri harvested 185,066 deer during the November portion of fall firearms deer season. Last year, hunters checked 186,542 deer during the 2015 November portion of firearms deer season.
Of the 185,066 deer harvested, 95,383 were antlered bucks, 18,889 were button bucks, and 70,794 were does. Top harvest counties were Howell with 3,910 deer checked, Franklin with 3,738, and Texas with 3,562.
Hunters were more successful this year during the opening weekend firearms deer season, Nov. 12 and 13. Hunters harvested 96,131 deer during the opening weekend. Last year hunters checked 93,896 deer during the opening weekend...
