Deer hunting season is a couple of months off, but the Missouri Department of Conservation is still taking measures to stop the spread of Chronic Wasting Disease. One of those includes making it illegal to feed deer in CWD zones.
Anyone caught feeding deer in a Chronic Wasting Disease zone can be fined up to $250.
Twelve new counties were added to Missouri’s CWD zone this year — Callaway, Cape Girardeau, Daviess, Harrison, Henry, Marion, Miller, Moniteau, Morgan, Ralls, St. Louis, and Texas — totaling 83 counties in every region of the state.
Locally, Douglas, Howell, Oregon, Ozark, Ripley and Shannon County are in the CWD Zones.
The percentage of Missouri’s deer population infected with CWD is very small, less than 1%.
