Perry County CWD Meeting - 2025
AUTHORIZATION TO DESTROY DEER
Missouri 2025
Authorization to DESTROY DEER - the use of bait, artificial light at night, and night vision/thermal imagery equipment is allowed January 15, 2025, thru March 15, 2025.
This should make you proud to be a Missouri Deer Hunter, Landowner and Conservationist!!!
Just to be clear, from the authorization, these are granted to specific land owners in core cwd areas.
Currently 1 list for 1 core area has 180 landowners listed that they asked to participate. Currently Missouri has 121 of these list and counting last year was 160 list of landowners.
Deer Management is dead in Missouri and is replaced with Disease Management statewide under Missouri Department of Conservation.
If you forgot Missouri Landowners - If I have less than 20 acres, YOU DO NOT qualify for landowner deer permits! But if you have 5 acres or more you do qualify to destory deer.
Authorization to DESTROY DEER
7 Acre Missouri Landowner is allowed to DESTROY 99 Missouri Deer in Franklin County.
I just listend to the most shocking telephone call.
These 7 acres are surrounded by large family farms with avid hunters.
I currently have a recording of the telephone call. This is from 2024. The form was sent and is dated January 10, 2024, from the Representative of the Missouri Department of Conservation right after the phone call. It is not the MDC employee fault, she is just a Naturalist and Educator. She was told by MDC leadership to call landowners. MDC leadership in Jefferson City is to blame for all of this!!!
Listen to the phone call you're self.
Deer Management is dead in Missouri and is replaced with Disease Management under the Missouri Department of Conservation.
If you forgot Missouri Landowners - If I have less than 20 acres, YOU DO NOT qualify for landowner deer permits! But if you have 5 acres or more you do qualify to destroy deer.
I would like to thank all the Missouri Landowners sharing the real stories on the ground. Because the information at meeting last night was complete opposite of the phone call I listened to.
Blue Springs Conservation Area – January 20, 2025
Authorization to Destroy Deer – MDC Agent Shooters
https://mdc.mo.gov/discover-nature/places/blue-springs-creek-conservation-area
2.5 miles southwest of Bourbon, Missouri – Crawford County – WHY? Because the MDC map shows NO new CWD in that area! Plus the area was changed years ago to Archery Only and Muzzleloader which reduces deer harvest.
New area for 2025 will be Meramec Conservation Area - Crawford and Washington Counties in which destroy area spans.
Authorization to DESTROY DEER - the use of bait, artificial light at night, and night vision/thermal imagery equipment is allowed January 16, 2025, thru March 15, 2025.
Corn and blind was put out January 18, 2025 but apparently too cold to start destroying deer.
If you hunt this public land conservation area you might consider finding a different area next season.
Don’t worry you won’t see this video, the destroying of deer and the pickup load of deer. Don’t worry, you won’t see this in the Missouri Media or MDC FB page.
ONCE YOUR IN THE CORE CULLING AREA YOU ALWAYS IN THE CORE CULLING AREA
Do the deer wear a shock collars and can't cross the black or red lines on a map to eat the corn?
Do they place corn pile right near the edge of the blank or red lines on a map?
Exactly how far and will deer travel across the black or red lines lines on a map to get to corn?
Deer Management has been replaced with Disease Management
Chairman of the Missouri Conservation Comission and MDC Deer Biologist have stated in Conservation Commission Meeting December of 2024.
