High speed pursuit in Mtn. View On November 3 at approximately 7:20 p.m. Mtn. View Police Officer Sigman observed a white Ford Explorer traveling East on 5th Street approaching Elm at a high rate of speed. Officer Sigman locked the vehicles speed in at 51 MPH while in a 25 MPH zone. The white Ford Explorer did not slow down and ran through the stop sign at 5th and Elm, almost colliding with the patrol unit. Officer Sigman attempted to catch up to the speeding vehicle with his lights and sirens activated when the vehicle began to accelerate. The suspect turned onto Third Street, drove through the ditch and on the sidewalk beside Duncan Funeral Home almost over turning the vehicle. At this time several sparks were coming from the rear of the vehicle and Officer Sigman noticed the driver’s side rear tire was blown. The Explorer continued West on Third Street driving all over the roadway, putting others in danger with speeds of approximately 50 MPH. The Explorer then hit a railroad tie and collided with a metal building at Third and Oak Street. No injuries occurred during the crash. A female passenger was unharmed and stated she begged him to stop but he said he was in a hurry. Braxton Terrill, age 20 of Mtn. View, was taken to the Howell County Jail and placed on a 12-hour hold for his own protection. Charges are pending in this incident.

Hunters: Mandatory CWD sampling of harvested deer in 25 counties The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) reminds deer hunters that it needs their help to keep the deadly deer disease called chronic wasting disease (CWD) from spreading to more deer in more areas of Missouri. MDC will be conducting mandatory CWD sampling of harvested deer in 25 counties opening weekend of the fall firearms deer season, Nov. 11 and 12. Hunters who harvest deer in any of these select counties of MDC’s
CWD Management Zone during opening weekend MUST present their harvested deer at one of the Department’s 56 CWD sampling stations so staff can collect tissue samples to test the animals for CWD. CWD sampling takes only a few minutes and consists of cutting an incision across the throat of harvested deer to remove lymph nodes for testing. Tissue samples are sent to an independent lab for testing. The 25 mandatory CWD

Hunters who harvest deer in any of the 25 gray-shaded counties of MDC’s CWD Management Zone during the opening weekend of the fall firearms deer season, Nov. 11 and 12, must present their harvested deer at one of 56 MDC CWD sampling stations so staff can collect tissue samples to test the animals for CWD. Find sampling stations at mdc.mo.gov/ cwd. (Photo provided to the Standard)
sampling counties are: Adair, Barry, Benton, Cedar, Cole, Crawford, Dade, Franklin, Hickory, Jefferson, Knox, Linn, Macon, Moniteau, Ozark, Polk, St. Charles, St. Clair, St. Francois, Ste. Genevieve, Stone, Sullivan, Taney, Warren, and Washington. The 25 mandatory sampling counties include ones recently added to the CWD Management Zone after cases of CWD were found there in 2016-2017, counties with previous CWD positives, and counties very near where cases of CWD have been found. Find mandatory sampling stations online at mdc. mo.gov/cwd, and in MDC’s 2017 Fall Deer & Turkey Hunting Regulations and Information booklet, available where permits are sold. MDC ALSO OFFERING VOLUNTARY CWD SAMPLING MDC is also offering voluntary CWD sampling throughout the entire deer hunting season at more than 55 participating taxidermists and designated MDC offices in and around the CWD Management Zone. Find voluntary sampling locations online at mdc.mo.gov/cwd.
INFO TO KNOW FOR MANDATORY SAMPLING Sampling locations will be open from 7:30 a.m. until at least 8 p.m. Deer must be presented by the hunter who harvested the animal. Hunters will be asked to identify the location within the county the deer was harvested. Deer may be field dressed before being taken to a sampling station. Hunters can also present just the deer head with about six inches of neck attached. For bucks bound to a taxidermist, the cape may be removed prior to being taken to a sampling station as long as about six inches of the neck is left attached. For bucks bound to a taxidermist, hunters may also leave the deer intact and inform staff the deer is bound for a taxidermist. Staff will complete paperwork and inform the hunters about participating taxidermists taking CWD samples. Hunters will be given information on getting free test results for their deer.

Helping babies by participating in a diaper drive can be part of the fun for attendees of the November 14 Missouri State University-West Plains Grizzly basketball game to be played at the West Plains Civic Center beginning at 7 p.m. The university is offering a free ticket for each package of disposable baby diapers brought to the game, with the diapers to be donated to the Focus on Babies Diaper Resource Center (DRC) in West Plains.

The STARS Foundation presents ‘Annie’ Honoring Sacrifice and Service As a grateful nation, we pause this week to honor America’s veterans. These brave men and women leave family, friends, careers and the comforts of home to fight and defend our freedoms and values. They’ve fought for us; it is incredibly important to fight for them now. From servicemen like my uncle, who fought in Vietnam and earned a Purple Heart, to those recently enlisted beginning their first tours of duty, we owe a debt of gratitude. I consider it a great honor to help our military heroes. Whether hosting a local Veterans Summit to assist our nation’s finest figure out benefits, ending fraud and abuse within the Veterans Administration, fighting for better VA health care in rural areas or showing the Greatest Generation the WWII memorial in Washington, serving veterans is a privilege. This week, America’s veterans are a step closer to the exceptional treatment they deserve. Working closely with the Trump Administration, I fought to make sure veterans have choices when it comes to their health care. Those who cannot get a timely appointment at a VA medical facility now have options in a private health care setting, covered by their veterans’ benefits. Additionally, after many requests to increase hours of operation and expand services at the VA Clinic in Salem, I worked to get this done. Veterans will also have access to a long-awaited ID card that will help ensure they get the benefits they rightly earned. Recently, veterans from Perryville traveled to our nation’s Capital to conduct a flag exchange ceremony for the Missouri National Veterans Memorial. It was an honor for me to participate in this important ceremony linking the full-scale black granite replica in Perryville to the Vietnam Wall in Washington D.C. Not everyone can travel to D.C., so Missouri’s National Veterans Memorial is taking one of our nation’s most important sacred monuments right to America’s heartland in Perryville. We were all again reminded of how important it is to defend our nation when ISIS struck New York City this week. In a cowardly act of terror, an ISIS supporter rented a vehicle and struck innocent civilians as school was dismissing and families were preparing to go trick or treating. Even as we face terrorism at home, our troops are overseas, working to extinguish terrorist groups so their twisted ideology of hate never reaches our borders. As you read this, there are hundreds of thousands of America’s finest deployed across the globe, defending our freedom and fighting terrorists where they are deeply rooted. We are so blessed to live in the land of the free, but we must not forget this has come with a price. Others have sacrificed their own lives so that we may live in freedom. Please take some time to thank veterans not just today, but every day, and let them know how grateful you are for their service to our country.

The men and women in uniform who defend the rights and freedoms we enjoy in this country are true heroes. November 11 is the date set aside to recognize the selflessness and bravery of the U.S. military, both today and yesterday. Without the valiant effort of veterans, we would not have the freedoms we now enjoy. Their sacrifices have preserved our nation through its most difficult days. The men and women of the armed forces who have risked their lives in service to this country deserve our respect, and Veteran’s Day allows us to repay some of that respect with open appreciation. It also gives us a special occasion to honor those currently in combat, fighting on our behalf. For 98 years now, Nov. 11 has been set aside as a federal holiday dedicated to the cause of world peace. Pres. Woodrow Wilson declared the first “Armistice Day” to recognize the service of American soldiers and our allies in defeating Germany and her allies in “the war to end all wars.” The word “armistice” was later replaced to recognize the service of our military personnel in World War II and the Korean War, and Pres. Dwight Eisenhower issued the first “Veterans Day Proclamation” in 1954. For many years, we have marked Veterans Day with parades, solemn ceremonies at military cemeteries and gatherings that will take place across the state. At Arlington National Cemetery, ceremonies take place at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, which represents the brave missing and unknown service members from four different wars. The president, or his representative, will place a wreath at the tomb, followed by the playing of “Taps.” There are more than 25 million living Americans who we recognize as veterans or retired military. These veterans have fought in World War II, Korea, Vietnam and other conflicts. In our state, we recognize the 488,220 veterans, along with 34,786 active and reserve guard members. Regardless of when a veteran served, the shared experiences create a common bond that will, and does, last a lifetime. The oath we take dedicates our lives to service of country. And whether we serve at home or abroad, we have all worked to reinforce the greatest fighting force in the world. We truly are a blessed nation and have been since our founding. The brave and the bold who led the charge for a United States of America understood the price of freedom. They were confident this new republic would stand the test of time, but realized it would not come without sacrifice. These same founders would be pleased today to say thank you to the many who have fought to preserve and defend the United States of America. Young and old alike, who stepped forward during a time of need and answered America’s call to defend freedom; a call to liberate; a call to risk their lives for something greater. Honoring our veterans and our military personnel remains one of the Legislature’s highest priorities. As we approach Nov. 11, Veterans Day, I ask each of you to take a few moments out of your day to thank someone who has so admirably and courageously served this great country. Each of our veterans are owed a debt of gratitude for their selfless service to our great country. As always, I appreciate it when groups from around Missouri and from our community back home come to visit me at the Capitol. If you would like to arrange a time to come and visit me in Jefferson City, or if you ever have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact my Capitol office at (573) 751-1882.

In the 1980’s he was the editor of the high quality, award winning outdoor magazine The Fishing & Hunting Journal. Ron gained a design patent on a fly/lure (Desperate Diver), which he made and marketed through direct mail worldwide. Over the next 30 years, he became the first editor for Outdoor Guide Magazine, co-published, designed and wrote for his own magazine Popular Fly Fishing, wrote syndicated columns for newspapers around the nation, and continued writing and working as a float fishing guide until his passing. Ron last resided in Eminence, MO where he felt the most content and at home. He wrote to his daughter Alison once saying, “I love the isolation and ambiance of my cabin. After more than a year here, I still like the people of Eminence. They are truly happy.” He enjoyed coming to the office at Shady Lane Cabins and Motel in Emi-
nence and loved to have that connection with people on a regular basis. Ron would take camping floating trips alone or with good friends and often write about his journeys.

Many saw Ron as a mentor and a friend and one of those friends, Jim Anderson, quoted recently that Ron was “A true outdoorsman unlike any other in modern times.” That he was. May he Rest In Peace with the infinite love that he once felt before as mentioned in his book ‘A Higher Good’ Another friend quoted Ron in regards to his book that “some day this book will be my legacy.” Ron has touched many lives here on earth.

Missouri routs Florida, hosts Tennessee for Senior Day by Benjamin Herrold Sports Columnist Missouri’s game at Faurot Field on Saturday was played under a steel gray, typically November sky, but it felt like some sun was finally shining on the program. Missouri demolished Florida 45-16, the Tigers’ third straight win. Their bowl chances, which looked dead in early October, were starting to look good. Likely, even. Missouri (4-5, 1-4) picked up its first SEC win, and now has three more games against beatable SEC opponents to close the season. Florida (3-5, 3-4 in
SEC) is a reeling team that lost for the fourth time in a row and was playing with an interim head coach, Randy Shannon. But even with all the tumult facing the Gators these days, this was still a more impressive win than the previous two, at home against Idaho and at Connecticut. After quarterback Drew Lock threw an interception in the end zone on the first drive of the game, the Tigers rolled, leading 28-3 late in the second quarter and delighting the small but appreciative crowd. Lock was efficient throwing the ball, completing 15 of 21 passes. But Missou-
ri’s ground game was perhaps even more impressive. The Tigers pounded the ball, running 46 times for 227 yards, methodically marching up and down the field and giving their defense much longer breaks than usual. Ish Witter and Larry Rountree each ran for 83 yards. It was the kind of win that could maybe help Missouri fans start to feel optimistic again. It feels like the program has some positive momentum, even if it’s a fairly modest helping. Missouri continues its tour of the bottom of the SEC on Saturday when the Tennessee Volunteers come to Columbia (6:30 p.m. on
Local banks donate to MVE
SEC Network). The Tigers are a solid favorite in this one, which would’ve seemed questionable earlier in the year but now reflects the recent results for the two schools. The Vols (4-5, 0-5 in SEC) are winless in conference play and seem to be barreling toward firing coach Butch Jones. Tennessee had lost four straight before beating Southern Miss 24-10 at Neyland Stadium last Saturday. The Vols have especially
struggled on offense, ranking 111th nationally in passing yards per game, 103rd in rushing yards and 107th in scoring. They have shuffled generally ineffective quarterbacks, but running back John Kelly can be pretty dangerous. Despite being suspended for the Kentucky game, he has 694 rushing yards on the season. Missouri still has its flaws, but this is a game the Tigers should win. Tennessee has been reeling most of the season, and Jones has
sort of felt like a lame duck coach for weeks now. But Tennessee does have some talent on the roster, so the Tigers should be wary. A win would bring the Tigers within one win of bowl eligibility. Missouri next plays at Vanderbilt, the other team that is winless in SEC play. Then comes the season final at Arkansas, which has one SEC win. The opportunities are there, but Missouri still has work to do to save something of the season.

Officials with The Kloz Klozet and Cleea’s At Home Market invite everyone to their “Dressed to the Nines” fashion show Friday, Nov. 17, at the West Plains Country Club. Sponsored by the Friends of the Garnett Library, the event, which benefits Missouri State University-West Plains’ Garnett Library, will feature the latest styles in dresses, slacks, accessories, shoes, fashion jewelry, travel accessories and handbags, and wide variety of home decor items, according to Florence James and Cleea Walls, owners of The Kloz Klozet and Cleea’s At Home Market, respectively. In addition, those attending will be able to view a table of gift items now available at both The Kloz Klozet and Cleea’s At Home Market. The Kloz Klozet carries some unique and outstanding lines of baby clothing, as well as a large assortment of gifts for new arrivals and their parents. Gift registries are available, and items purchased can be gift wrapped.
Cleea’s At Home Market also has a large assortment of jewelry, shoes, accessories, gift items, home decor and furniture. Bridal and baby registries also are available, and items purchased can be gift wrapped. Doors for the Nov. 17 fashion show will open at 11:30 a.m. for those who wish to come early to shop and socialize. Attendees also will have the opportunity to shop immediately following the show from 1 to 1:30 p.m. Admission is $25, with proceeds going to the library. Over the past 14 years, the semiannual fashion show events have raised over $32,000, said Sylvia Kuhlmeier, pointing out such events enable the library to move from good to great. Past projects funded by money raised through the fashion shows include increasing the book collection, adding compact shelving, creating a new study area, adding tech-friendly furnishings, and most recently, the addition of a collaboration station, she added.
“I’m grateful to the Friends and the fashion show sponsors for all they do to enrich the Garnett Library and enhance the academic achievement of our students,” Kuhlmeier said. Those who attend the fashion show will receive $10 gift certificates from the presenters. Other prizes also will be given away. Organizers said seating will be open, but there will be larger tables available on a first come, first served basis for those who would like to bring their friends or co-workers to the event. Seating is limited, however, so those planning to attend the Nov. 17 event should purchase tickets in advance at the Garnett Library, 304 W. Trish Knight St.; The Kloz Klozet, No. 16 Court Square; Cleea’s At Home Market, 1350 Southern Hills Shopping Center; or the Missouri State-West Plains development office, 905 W.

First-time freshmen or transfer students with less than 10 credit hours have several dates from which to choose to attend Missouri State University-West Plains’ STudent Advising and Registration (STAR) Orientation sessions for the 2018 spring semester. Spaces are available for sessions on Dec. 1 and 8 and Jan. 8, 2018, according to Cindy Bridges, coordinator of student academic advisement at the Advisement and Academic Coaching Center for Empowering Student Success (AACCESS), which hosts the events. Space is limited for each STAR session, so students are encouraged to register early for their preferred session, Bridges stressed. STAR Orientations are designed to provide students with an introduction to the university and its services, policies and procedures, and to assist students in registering for their first semester. During STAR, students will meet with a faculty adviser, schedule spring classes, receive a photo ID, be assigned a BearPass login, receive a parking permit, have an opportunity to visit with a financial aid representative, purchase textbooks at Drago College Store and, if desired, take a tour of the campus. “In short, they will be totally prepared for the first day of classes on Jan. 16, 2018,” Bridges said. She also pointed out a separate program is available for parents, spouses and friends of the students to attend. “They will hear from a number of university administrators and staff members who will present information about the campus, explain important topics such as academic degree programs, financial aid, etc., and provide insightful tips about how they can help their student achieve academic success,” Bridges said. Before attending an orientation, students must be admitted to the university and complete required ACT or

Calling all women to kick the habit in November hours, the level of carbon monoxide in the blood drops to normal. Within three days, major nicotine cravings will diminish. After one to two weeks, circulation and lung function improve. A couple of weeks after a smoker stops smoking, he or she will also notice improvement in shortness of breath and chronic cough, as well as fewer colds and respiratory infections. One year after quitting, a former smoker’s risk of heart disease is half that of someone that smokes regularly. Risk of cancers and cardiovascular disease continue to diminish over the next five to 15 years to the level of someone who has never smoked. Many women who successfully quit smoking say they feel more in control of their lives. Women report having more energy to play with their kids and engage in activities. Their mood has improved and depression and anxiety become more manageable. Skin and hair smell and look better. They have fewer worries and are more financially stable from saving money they would have spent on cigarettes. Maybe you have tried to quit in the past or are thinking of quitting soon, but the task seems daunting. According to the CDC, 68 percent of adult smokers want to quit and 52 percent have tried to quit in the past. Women tend to have a harder time quitting due to their different responses to nicotine, as well as a lack of social support, fear of weight gain, depression, and hormonal changes. Women are more likely to require multiple attempts before successfully quitting. Female addiction is stimulated more by the sensory and social context of smoking, rather than nicotine. Therefore, smoking cessation plans should involve multiple avenues of support, including family, friends, coworkers and healthcare providers. Missouri has a free smoking cessation program accessible to any Missouri resident at 1-800-QUIT-NOW or www. quitnow.net/Missouri. Medication is also available through your healthcare provider to help anyone quit smoking.

Sen. Cunningham outlines Senate plan to restore in-home and nursing care cuts Sen. Mike Cunningham, R-Rogersville, released the following statement today regarding his concerns on the detrimental effects cuts to in-home health care and nursing homes will have on Missouri’s most vulnerable citizens. “Several months ago I presented a plan to Senate leadership and my caucus, which outlined ways we could reverse cuts to in-home care and nursing homes without any increases to the current budget. The proposal was a result of a working group set up by President Pro Tem Ron Richard, R-Joplin, and was comprised of a bipartisan team of House and Senate members.” This is the Senate’s proposal: 1) Begin with circuit breaker; a) Cap income per household at 180 percent of the poverty level ($22,000); b) Cap the maximum credit at $750 per household for home owners and $450 for renters; and, c) Reduce the percentage of rent that constitutes property tax to 10 percent (instead of the current 20 percent). The above will not apply to 100 percent disabled individuals, 100 percent disabled veterans or surviving spouses of veterans, firefighters or police officers killed in the line of duty. Their maximum credits would remain the same as those under the current program. 2) No residents receiving state or federal assistance, or living in non-profit housing will be eligible for circuit breaker, nor will nursing home residents. 3) Other available funds; a) Reduce nursing facility reimbursement fund by $1.5 million; and, b) Reduce Nursing Facility Quality of Care Fund by $1.5 million.
Other sources of funding under consideration would produce approximately $3.5 million and could include; a) Healthy Families Trust Fund (tobacco money); b) Life Sciences Trust Fund (tobacco money); and, c) Missouri Public Health Services Fund. Each of these changes would provide approximately $25 million. Federal matching funds would create approximately $40 million for a total of $65 million available to restore cuts. “The above is not set in stone, but the Missouri Senate WILL NOT CUT benefits from 100 percent disabled individuals, 100 percent disabled veterans or surviving spouses of veterans, firefighters or police officers killed in the line of duty. After my presentation to the majority caucus, all 17 Republican Senate members present signed a formal petition to call us into a special session to protect our seniors and disabled citizens. This proposal has also been presented to the House Budget Chairman. It is now up to the House to assure the Senate that they will pass the reforms to protect our nursing homes that accept Medicaid patients and home health care recipients receiving Medicaid benefits. If approved, we would be in a position to call ourselves into special session or ask the governor to do so. While it seems like time is running short for us to convene a special session in 2017, I am preparing options to file a bill addressing these concerns as my first priority in 2018,” stated Cunningham. Lawmakers return to the State Capitol on January 3 at noon for the start of the 2018 legislative session.

Young deer hunters harvest 17,200 plus during early youth portion Top counties for the early youth hunt were Osage with 380, Howell with 377 and Franklin with 354
Preliminary data from the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) shows that young hunters ages 6 through 15 harvested 17,222 deer during Missouri’s early youth portion of the 2017 deer hunting season, which ran Oct. 2829. Top counties for the early youth portion were Osage with 380, Howell with 377, and Franklin with 354 deer checked. Last year’s harvest total for the early youth portion
was 11,171. “The increase in harvest during the early youth portion compared to last year is likely due to the excellent weather over the weekend, which was favorable for deer movement,” MDC Deer Biologist Barb Keller said. “Weather during early youth season last year was particularly poor, with highs in the 80s throughout much of the state.” For the latest deer har-
vest totals by county and portion, visit MDC’s website at http://on.mo.gov /1jjz7Ew. Archery deer hunting continues through Nov. 10 and again from Nov. 22 through Jan. 15, 2018. Up next for deer hunting in Missouri is the November portion of firearms deer season, which runs Nov. 11-21. That will be followed by the late youth portion of firearms deer season on Nov. 24-26. The
antlerless portion of firearms deer season runs Dec. 1-3. Lastly the alternative methods portion will run Dec. 23- Jan. 2, 2018.

Preliminary data from the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) shows that hunters checked 2,899 turkeys during Missouri’s fall firearms turkey season, Oct. 1-31. Top harvest counties were Greene with 100, Texas with 95, and Dent with 94. Last year’s fall fire-
arms turkey harvest total was 3,698. MDC’s turkey biologist says this year’s low fall firearms turkey harvest total can be attributed to several factors, including a poor turkey hatch, a decline in hunter participation, and above-average acorn production.

cartoon,” she replied. “It’s just hilarious and outlandish. They look so comical and it’s hard to imagine they pose an actual real threat to anyone.” She genuinely was not trying to offend me. When something isn’t in your own backyard, it can be hard to conceptualize the reality of a problem. But, feral hogs aren’t funny and every Missourian needs to know the dangers they pose. I wished I could introduce her to Ken Hobbs, a Reynolds County landowner who’s lost thousands of dollars to feral hog damage. I wished she could meet face to face with these landowners who are not wealthy; they are normal, average Missourians who wake up to find their front yard has been completely rooted up and demolished by 30 feral hogs while they were sleeping. They go out to work on their farm one morning to find their pond that their
“As was the case last year, this year’s turkey hatch was exceptionally poor, so there were far fewer young birds for hunters to pursue this fall,” said MDC Turkey Biologist Jason Isabelle. “Young turkeys are typically the most easily lured into hunters’ calls, so poor production made for some challenging hunting this fall.” The poor hatch wasn’t the only thing that contributed to this year’s low fall firearms turkey harvest. Isabelle noted that participation in the fall firearms turkey season has been declining in Missouri, as it has in a number of states. “This year’s fall firearms turkey permit sales total of 10,243 was the lowest on record since the season started in 1978,” Isabelle said. “During our peak year in
MDC: Feral hogs, there’s nothing funny about them I sat at a professional development women’s luncheon in Cape Girardeau recently and across the table from me was one of our city’s most active public relations professionals. She’s a mom of a toddler, a decision maker in her home and a major influencer of our local community. She glanced at her phone, laughed and then looked me in the eye with a smile. “How do you send a press release with this headline and keep a straight face,” she asked. I think it was supposed to be a rhetorical question; she may not have realized it was my press release. I coauthored it and sent it earlier that day. The headline was “MDC advises proper fencing can help keep out feral hogs.” “I’m sorry, I don’t understand,” was my response. “I just see feral hogs as a
cattle depend on has drained overnight, thanks to one hog that decided to root around on the pond levy. Or, they set up for their daughter’s outdoor wedding the day before, only to find the entire area destroyed by feral hogs the morning of the wedding. These landowners don’t think feral hogs are funny at all. It’s also not funny that wildlife biologists must take time away from managing wildlife and improving habitat to work on feral hog elimination and repair feral hog damage to much needed habitats. Feral hogs decimate wildlife populations wherever they are, because they destroy habitat and they also eat wildlife young. Fawns, turkey poults and basically anything young and defenseless is on the menu. It’s not funny to see our wildlife populations struggle due to this invasive, destructive species that should not be in Missouri. We’ve worked hard to bring these wildlife species back to our state over the past 80 years. So, how do we influence people who aren’t directly linked to the feral hog problem? We keep spreading the message. We keep introducing them to hurting landowners and suffering wild turkeys through the news and social media. We can’t assume that everyone understands the problem. Even when we think we’ve sent enough press releases and posted enough to social media and talked enough in the local coffee shop, we must continue the messaging. Because, eventually, they’re going to read past that headline and get introduced to something that’s much worse than a cartoon. They’re going to learn that feral hogs could make it to their own backyard if they don’t decide to act, speak up and make sure everyone knows – feral hogs aren’t funny. To report feral hog sightings or learn more about feral hog elimination efforts go to mdc.mo.gov/feralhog.
1987, nearly 53,000 permits were purchased.” Another factor that impacted this year’s fall turkey harvest was the good acorn crop throughout much of the state, which typically results in fewer turkeys being taken. Isabelle explained that when acorns are abundant, turkeys don’t have to range far to locate food, and spend less time in open fields where they’re more visible to hunters.
For several years prior to 2016, production had been considerably better than the poor hatches that plagued the state’s turkey population in the late 2000s. However, 2017 marks the second year of poor turkey hatches in Missouri. “Poor production the past couple years has certainly been a setback, but we’ve dealt with periods of poor production before,” said Isabelle. “Turkeys can make
a fairly quick rebound with a couple years of good production. I’m hoping that the 2018 hatch will get us started back in the right direction.” Fall archery turkey hunting continues through Nov. 10 and then resumes again from Nov. 22 through Jan. 15, 2018.

Brown's Farm & Garden Feeder Cattle Auction Report for 10/31/2017 Receipts Week Ago Year Ago Total Receipts: 3,973 3,527 3,216 Compared to last week, all weights of steer calves and heifer calves less than 650 lbs traded steady to 5.00 higher with heavier weight heifers and yearling steers trading 5.00-7.00 higher. Demand was moderate early and improved throughout the day as the quality of the offering improved. The supply was heavy and included five pot-loads of eight-weight steers. The bulk of the feeder calves were in single and small packages creating an active market as buyers worked to put together loads. Health issues continue to plague both weaned and unweaned calves with one buyer being told to hold off buying new calves until last week’s order could be nursed back to good health. As National Sick Calf month ends, hopefully the two hard freezes this past week and more seasonable temperatures will improve the situation.

From Page One firearms season is the most popular two hunting days for most deer hunters in Missouri. During those two days, hunters take about a third of the state’s total annual deer harvest of about 275,000 animals. “Focusing on this key weekend gives us the best opportunity to collect the most tissue samples during a very concentrated time period,” explained MDC Wildlife Disease Coordinator Jasmine Batten. “Prior to conducting mandatory sampling for the first time last year, we collected about
7,600 tissue samples through voluntary sampling over the entire deer season. Thanks to deer hunters, last year we collected 19,200 samples during opening-weekend mandatory sampling.” Batten added the increased number of samples collected gives MDC scientists a much better understanding of the distribution and prevalence of the disease -- where it is and how many deer may have it. It can also help find new cases in new areas. Find more information on CWD at mdc.mo.gov/cwd.
