HUNTERS REMINDED TO BE AWARE OF BAITING REGULATIONS
Deer season is rapidly approaching and the Missouri Department of Conservation is reminding hunters of baiting regulations.
According to the MDC, the use of bait, including grain or other feed placed or scattered to attract deer or turkey while hunting this fall is illegal.
A hunter can be in violation if they take or attempt to take a deer by the aid of bait where the hunter knows or reasonably should know that the area is or has been baited. An area is considered baited for 10 days after complete removal of the bait.
Officials say the regulations are in place to help limit the spread of Chronic Wasting Disease in deer and to ensure fair chase.
More information is available at mdc.mo.gov.
