The effects of this year’s hemorrhagic disease outbreak might not become evident for several years. Deer and hunter numbers remain strong in Missouri.
JEFFERSON CITY–How will this year’s historic drought and higher-than-normal incidence of hemorrhagic diseases affect Missouri’s deer harvest? The answer, according to the Missouri Department Conservation (MDC), is “Not much. At least not this year.”
MDC Resource Scientist Jason Sumners says factors affecting deer harvest include the size of the deer herd and the availability of acorns. This year’s historic drought is expected to affect both of these factors.
