Perfect Season! Liberty takes SCA title by Brian Ingalls Mountain View Standard News brian@mvstandard.com
Max Rudolph terrorized the Houston Tigers on offense and defense last Friday at the Nest, and the rest of the Eagles joined in as Liberty scored seven touchdowns in the first-half, cruising to a 63-7 victory over Houston to officially win the South Central Association and roll into Districts as the heavy favorites.
It took just over a minute for Liberty to score their first touchdown of the game, and less than three minutes to score twice. They kept up the pace for most of the first half, and with 2:30 left to go in the first quarter, the Eagles had a commanding 35-0 lead. Four different players had already scored touchdowns for Liberty, and Rudolph had scored twice, once on a two-yard pass, and a second time when he intercepted a Tiger’s pitch on a running play
Keeping the Drive Alive! Koel Orchard (15) catches the ball and works his way into the "redzone" against the Houston Tigers on Friday night. The Eagles piled up 337 yards in the first half and scored seven touchdowns. Liberty 63-7 victory gave the Eagles first place in the SCA, and a perfect 9-0 regular season. (Photo: Standard/Wagner)
and raced downfield for the score. He wasn’t the only one having a good night. The Eagles totaled 337 total yards in the first half, and Josh Pruett was racking up a lot of those. The junior quarterback completed 15 of 20 passes for 203 yards to five different receivers. Brenton Bush led the way with four catches for 61 yards including a 23-yard touchdown catch. Andrew Raider pulled down a 30-yard touchdown pass on his way to four first-half catches for 57 yards. Rudolph had three catches for 58, with two catches from Xander Marshall and a catch for Koel Orchard as well. For their part, nearly all of the Tigers offense came from Chance Hunter a running back transfer, who played with Cabool last season. Hunter carried the ball 17 times on the night for 110 yards, but despite his performance, the Tigers struggled. Houston had four turnovers in the first half and managed to get to the Liberty side of the field only once. The Tigers’ quarterback Nathan Poynter completed two of nine first-half passes with one interception. Poynter didn’t get much help from his receivers, however. They dropped at least five passes as Liberty’s defense suffocated the Tigers. The victory gives the Eagles
a perfect 9-0 regular season record and the SCA crown. Thayer finished second with an 8-1 record after marching into Mountain Grove last week and defeating the Panthers 38-14. That dropped the Panthers to third place in the conference with a 7-2 record. All three teams enter their respective District tournaments as the number one seed, however, as attention now turns to the post-season race and the State Championships. Mountain Grove, Ava, and Salem take the top three spots in their District in Class 3, while number one seed Thayer gears up for a run in Class 1 in the same District as Cabool. Eagle fans might want to get ready for four more home games. Liberty starts the District tournament at the Nest with a game against 0-10 Pleasant Hope this Friday. The once mighty Strafford Indians have fallen to the fourth-seed this year and will play the Houston Tigers, while number two seed Fair Grove plays Willow Springs. Liberty expects to play the winner of the Houston-Strafford game on October 30 at home, and barring an upset, Liberty will play for the District championship at home again on November 6. The games shift to Saturday for the rest of the State tournament, and November 14 at 1:00pm is the date for another collision with the undefeated Lamar Tigers who are going for their fifth State title in a row. The Tigers warmed up by turbo-clocking the number two ranked team in Class 4 last Friday. At least Lamar will apparently be coming to Liberty if the Eagles win Districts. According to the rules set out by MSHAA, since both teams will have had the same number of home games in Districts, and both will have hosted the District championship, the site of the quarterfinal game
Breakout! Max Rudolph (21) takes a pass and races through the Houston Tigers defense for a big gain. Rudolph had a breakout game with 3 catches for 58 yards in the first half, including one for a touchdown. Orchard scored again on defense when he intercepted the pitch on a running play and took it 61-yards for a score. (Photo: Standard/Wagner) goes to the team on the top of the bracket. That’s Liberty. And of course, this is all assuming that the Eagles win the next three games. It’s also assuming that Lamar wins the next three games, but that’s about the same as assuming the sun comes up tomorrow. If Friday is any indication, Lamar will get to see the Eagles remodeled field house. Liberty recovered a pooch kick to start the game against Houston, and for the Tigers it was downhill from there. Pruett passed to Raider for 23-yards on the Eagles first play from scrimmage, and four plays later Pruett dove across the goal line for an 8-0 Liberty advantage. It quickly became 15-0 after Pruett intercepted a pass by Poynter on third and seven and returned it to the Tigers 45-yard line. Pruett hit Rudolph on the next play for 13-yards and first down, and two plays later passed to Raider again for 30 yards and a touchdown. Liberty led 15-0 with 9:25 still left in the first quarter. That was enough time for three more touchdowns. After forcing Houston to punt, Liberty put together a 10-play 69-yard drive that ended with a two-yard pass from Pruett to Rudolph for a 22-0

Eagles lead. Liberty made it 28-0 just 51-seconds later after Brodyn Kenaga recovered a botched snap by the Tigers two plays into their next possession. That gave Liberty the ball at the Houston 23-yard line, and Pruett passed to Bush for a touchdown on the next play. The Tigers managed to drive inside Liberty territory for the first time on their next possession thanks to a 15-yard penalty assessed against the Eagles that moved the ball to the Liberty 39-yard line. Two plays later, however, Rudolph broke into the backfield and intercepted the pitch on an option play to race downfield for another touchdown and a 35-0 Liberty lead. Nothing was stopping Liberty in the first-half except themselves. Liberty’s only failed drive of the half came after a deep pass was intercepted and the Tigers took over at their 23-yard line. Houston picked up one first down before getting stuffed by the Eagles defense and forced to punt. Pruett hit Rudolph on a 40-yard deep slant on the first play of the drive, and found Raider three plays later for a 19-yard touchdown. Leading 42-0, Liberty ended the half with a 10-play drive for another score, overcoming a 15yard personal foul penalty along the way. Big plays on passes to Orchard for 20-yards, and Bush for 27-yards powered the drive, but runs by Pruett and Marcos Rodriguez finished it. At the half, the Eagles led 490, and the second half passed quickly with help from the turboclock. Liberty scored on their first drive of the second half. Liberty scored again when Willy Wilkins recovered a botched snap at the Houston one-yard line after a punt attempt, and the Eagles took over at the one yard line. After getting backed up five-yards by a penalty, Rodriguez scored from six yard out to give Liberty a 63-0 lead. The Eagles eventually cruised to a 63-7 win with the junior varsity getting some playing time. Liberty finishes the season a perfect 9-0, and the champions of the SCA. Now it’s time to set sights on Districts, -and possibly another shot at the State champs. Stay tuned.

USDA funding for high energy cost grants Deja Vu All Over Again
It has happened again. Last week, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) caused another spill in Colorado. This time, it was gray water spilled into a creek while working to clean up the Standard Mine. The EPA did not immediately notify the community or affected elected officials. This spill comes two months after EPA contractors catastrophically dumped three million gallons of toxic water from the Gold King mine into the Animas River, potentially tainting drinking water for thousands. Both the Gold King mine spill and the spill of gray water happened on EPA Superfund sites. The EPA’s website explains that the “Superfund program is responsible for cleaning up some of the nation’s most contaminated land,” but instead of cleaning up our contaminated land, the EPA only made it worse. The EPA spends $158 million of taxpayer money on its public relations budget. There are about 200 full-time employees in this division, and the EPA still manages to give another $15 million to outside public relations consultants. The EPA uses our money to spin the facts, telling Americans to trust them on the disastrous rules and regulations they force on rural America. Take for example the Clean Power Plan that would make energy significantly more expensive or the Waters of the United States rule which could put every puddle under federal jurisdiction. I have sponsored three important bills recently to help rein in this out of control agency. First, the No Exemptions for EPA Act states clearly that the EPA should be treated like private companies and held accountable when they cause spills, and it closes any legal loopholes just to make sure. The second is the EPA Pays Act which simply says that when the EPA spills, they have to pay the folks affected. We know the EPA has the money! This bill would use the funds from their public relations account – the same one used to lobby for the Waters of the United States rule – to repair the damage. The third bill is the Judgment Fund Taxpayer Accountability Act which would increase transparency and require agencies like the EPA to fully disclose the amount of money being paid out due to court judgments against the agency. This will show us which agencies are fixing the messes they create and which need to do better by Americans. It’s clear to me that local communities should decide how to best manage their natural resources, not unelected bureaucrats, and the legal system also agrees. Last week, the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled to block the Environmental Protection Agency's controversial Waters of the United States provision, effectively stopping the egregious power grab nationwide. EPA bureaucrats are doing more harm than good and I'm using every avenue at my disposal to defund their hypocritical actions.
Agriculture Under Secretary Lisa Mensah announced the availability of up to $10 million in competitive grants to assist communities with extremely high energy costs. “High costing energy is an issue for many families and individuals. The High Energy Cost Program is designed to help equalize those household costs in areas where local conditions exceed the national average,” said Missouri State Director Janie Dunning. “This program increases economic opportunity by maintaining a seamless energy efficient system for rural communities.” Grants in the High Energy Cost program are available to communities with annual residential energy costs exceeding 275 percent of the national average. The grants may be used to acquire, construct, extend,
upgrade or otherwise improve energy generation, transmission or distribution facilities serving eligible communities. They may also be used to install on- and off-grid renewable energy systems and to make energy efficiency improvements. For details on eligibility and application requirements and how to obtain application materials, see page 61336 of the October 13, 2015 Federal Register.

Protecting Our Land and Revenue
As the constituents of the 33rd Senatorial District read this column, Oregon County is in danger of losing significant personal property tax revenue. Using funds from a 2009 lead mining settlement to restore damaged lands, the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is making an effort to purchase the Frederick Creek Ranch – 2,500 acres of privately owned land, which would not be subject to personal property or real estate taxes. Already, the county loses out on collecting property taxes on one-third of its land because it is publicly owned, a fact that helps explain why Oregon County is among the poorest in the state. In this area, where school budgets only ever seem to shrink and families struggle daily to make ends meet, it is unacceptable for this transaction to take place without notice to, or input from residents, who will suffer if it loses out on property tax revenue from yet another large parcel of land. There is no question that mining operations can strip vegetation and lead to erosion that results in the washing away of precious nutrients; and while rehabilitation of lead mining sites is important to establish new growth as quickly as possible, there is a question about the legitimacy of this particular purchase as Frederick Creek Ranch is not located in what has become known as the “Lead Belt,” and has not suffered any damages that can be attributed to lead mining because there has never been lead mining in the vicinity. While the proposed acquisition of the land is upsetting to local small business owners, families, and two school districts, I am also deeply troubled that DNR officials want to make this purchase with no public discussion. The county seat of Oregon County is Afton, yet no public meeting was held there or anywhere in Oregon County. While a public meeting was held weeks ago in Reynolds County at another state park, affected counties were unaware of the meeting, public comment period, and the proposal itself until recently. Despite the hard work and dedication of state and local leaders, it has been hard to get any answers, or offer input in the Southeast Missouri Ozarks Regional Restoration Plan or the Draft Strategic Restoration Implementation Plan. It is the belief of DNR officials that it is cheaper to buy new land than to rehab the existing, damaged land. The millions of dollars in settlement money designated for the Lead Belt contamination areas would best be spent there, revitalizing that land. The purchase of new lands, versus rehabilitating current state parks is also a concern. There is currently an estimated $400 million backlog for upkeep and upgrades to nearly 150,000 acres in more than 85 state parks and historical sites. With this $400 million backlog, why would DNR want to add 2,500 more acres of property they cannot take care of? It sounds to me like they are “loading up the wagon and not worrying about the mule”. In this case the mule is the hard-working taxpayers of the state of Missouri. The bottom line is that not one resident of this area has supported the purchase of the Frederick Creek Ranch. No one was properly notified or given ample time to respond to a public comment period; even area leaders have been essentially denied the fair chance to speak with DNR decision makers about this matter. Oregon County cannot afford to have thousands more acres added to the existing 105,000-plus acres that have been forever removed from the economy when they were purchased by the federal government. I vehemently oppose the purchases of the land in Oregon County using funds earmarked for restoration in the Lead Belt. I oppose taking revenue from an area that has thousands and thousands of acres of designated park lands and struggles to sustain an economy that fosters growth and is simply unable to maintain services and allow families to prosper. Oregon County Commissioners should be commended for taking charge in stopping this forceful action by DNR. U.S. Senator Roy Blunt, U.S. Congressman Jason Smith, myself, along with other state senators, state representatives and many local officials, have also been working hard to ensure local residents have a say. I believe it is time for the government to “back-off” and respect the local citizens in making this important decision. I ask you to please join us in reaching out to DNR officials regarding this matter, as well as the governor, who will ultimately give final approval of this requisition of land. The governor’s office can be reached by calling (573) 751-3222, visiting his office in Room 216 of the Capitol or writing to P.O. Box 216, State Capitol, Jefferson City, Missouri 65102. 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.

sawmill daily. Evenings would find her heading over the hill to Brock and Karen’s for an evening meal, and, to usually spend the night. Her grandchildren were the love of her life and they returned that love to her. One of the things that Dessie taught her children was, “Don’t be looking for money for the good that you do. Do it for the Lord, and it will come back to you.” Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, October 24, 2015 at County Line Pentecostal Church, Birch Tree, with Nephews Greg DePriest and Keith DePriest and Pastor Rick Binkley officiating.

Missouri's offensive struggles continue, trip to Vanderbilt next by Benjamin Herrold Sports Columnist Last Saturday night in Athens, a charming, quintessential college town, Missouri and Georgia played on a grand stage. Playing “Between the Hedges” that famously ring the field, the teams ran out before a lively crowd of 92,746. A trumpet soloist had played the opening notes to Georgia’s “Battle Hymn” fight song, driving the crowd into a frenzy. It was Homecoming in Georgia. It was SEC football. It was “Saturday night in Athens,” the public address announcer hollered just before the game. It was also a protracted defensive struggle. Missouri’s outstanding defensive performances and flailing offense are becoming routine, as the Tigers fell 9-6. When Ian Simon intercepted
a Georgia pass on the first play of the game, I immediately thought, he has to get in the end zone. Simon gave that goal a spirited effort, but he was finally tackled at Georgia’s oneyard line. Missouri’s wobbly offense couldn’t punch it in, settling for a field goal. Missouri (4-3, 1-3 in SEC play) managed just 164 yards of offense, 84 of those yards coming on one long, impressive drive before halftime that nevertheless stalled and resulted in a field goal. Missouri has now gone two games without a touchdown. The Tigers led 6-3 at the half, but Georgia (5-2, 3-2 in SEC) inched back. Missouri’s defensive effort was incredible, digging in again and again as the offense failed to even give them much of a break. Missouri had six first downs
all game; Georgia had 19. But with the defense playing well and the offense playing poorly, Tiger special teams errors tipped the scales in Georgia’s favor. A fumble on a Missouri punt return led to a Georgia field goal, and the Tigers’ kick coverage and returns need to get better. This was especially clear in a game like last Saturday’s, when field position was so critical. Both teams also missed a field goal. Both teams competed admirably, but this was not a beautiful game to watch. It would’ve been a huge upset for Missouri, but the Tigers have to move on quickly. With any thoughts of a third straight SEC East title gone, the fans’ focus turns to a more humble goal, bowl eligibility. To get to 6-6 and bowl eligibility, Missouri could really use a win Saturday at
Vanderbilt (3 p.m. on SEC Network). The Commodores (24, 0-3 in SEC) lost 1910 last Saturday against South Carolina, which was playing its first game without head coach Steve Spurrier, who stepped down during the week. Vanderbilt has lost its first 11 SEC games under second-year head coach Derek Mason, but the Commodores have a decent defense. That defense kept Vanderbilt hanging around in all three of its SEC games this year, most impressively at No. 3 Ole Miss. Missouri began the week as a slight favorite, but this is on the road and the Tigers’ offensive struggles mean this will probably go down to the wire. Still, a win here would be a step toward salvaging a decent season.

OMC to host Diabetes Care Fair November 5
Social Security's Viagra Benefit for Kids Dear Savvy Senior, I’ve been told that my children, who are 13 and 16 years old, may be eligible for Social Security when I file for my retirement benefits. What can you tell me about this? Older Dad Dear Older, It’s true. If you’re retired and are still raising young children, there’s a little-known Social Security benefit dubbed the “Viagra benefit,” that can put some extra money in your family coffers. Here’s how it works. When you file for Social Security retirement benefits, each of your minor children can get money on your work record equaling half of what you would receive at full retirement age, which is currently 66. Even if you were to take a smaller benefit by claiming earlier, your kids will still get half of your full-retirement age amount. To qualify, your kids – whether they’re biological, adopted or step children – must be unmarried and under age 18. Kids that are over 18 but still in high school, can collect too until they graduate or turn 19, whichever comes first. (Other rules apply to kids that are disabled.) But that’s not all. Because you have one child that’s only 13, your wife (if you’re married) can collect Social Security benefits on your work record too. And it doesn’t matter if she’s just 40 years old. The minimum age requirements to collect retirement benefits (62) or survivor benefits (60) do not apply when it comes to collecting benefits as the caregiver of a young child. The spouse’s benefit, which is also worth up to half of your benefit, will stop when your child turns 16. But be aware that there are limits to the amount of money that can be paid to a family. The Social Security “family maximum payment” is determined by a complex formula (see ssa.gov/oact/cola/familymax.html) and can range from 150 to 180 percent of your full retirement benefit amount. If the total exceeds that, each person’s benefit, except yours, is cut proportionately until it equals the maximum. Here’s an example of how that’s figured. Let’s say, for example, that your full retirement age benefit is $2,000. After doing the Social Security math computations that would make your family maximum benefit $3,500. Subtract your $2,000 benefit from the $3,500 family maximum benefit, which leaves $1,500. That’s the monthly amount that can be split between your two children – $750 each. If your wife wants in on it too, the individual checks are smaller, at $500 a piece, but the family amount is the same. File and Suspend One other benefit boosting strategy you should know about that’s relevant here is “file and suspend.” If you’re still working and would like to wait, say to age 67 or even 70 to start claiming your own benefits, you can file and suspend starting at full retirement age 66. This option gives you the ability to start monthly payments for your minor children and wife, but suspend your own benefit so you can collect a larger amount later. Your benefit will increase by 8 percent per year for every year you delay collecting your retirement benefit up until age 70. That means your retirement benefit at age 70 will be 132 percent of what it would have been if he had collected at age 66. You should also know that minor children can collect Social Security benefits based on the earnings of a parent who is disabled or dead too. To learn more, see the SSA publication (No. 05-10085) “Benefits For Children” at ssa.gov/pubs/EN-05-10085.pdf. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O.

According to the Center for Disease Control, one in three people born in the year 2000 will develop diabetes in their lifetime. In Howell County, one in 10 individuals is already living with diabetes. “Diabetes touches the lives of many. In Missouri alone, 301,000 individuals are living with diabetes,” said Meagan Jones, RN, Ozarks Medical Center Health Educator. “Educating ourselves about healthy lifestyle choices can prevent or delay the onset of Type 2 diabetes.” In order to increase the awareness of this deadly disease, Ozarks Medical Center will host a Diabetes Care Fair from 5 to 7 p.m. November 5 at the OMC Parkway Education Center. The free event will include
an educational dinner presentation from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m. During the dinner, Henry Bryan, a member of a patient-led approach to diabetes education called A1C Champions, will share his personal story about the struggle to control diabetes. To RSVP to the dinner, call the OMC Education Department at 417-257-6793 by November 2. The diabetes fair will include information on glucose monitoring, nutrition, exercise, stress, medication and symptoms of diabetes and pre-diabetes. Guests can tour educational booths before the dinner presentation. A free A1C test will be offered at the event. The A1C test indicates a person’s blood sugar control over the past two to three months.
According to the American Diabetes Association, 29.1 million Americans are living with diabetes and more than a quarter of those remain undiagnosed. “Too often, signs and symptoms of diabetes are overlooked or even ignored,” Jones said. “The symptoms can advance slowly and by then, the disease may have caused major, long-term damage to the body.” Jones said she encourages people to know the warning signs of Type 2 Diabetes, which include increased thirst, frequent urination, slow healing cuts or sores, numbness or tingling in the hands or feet, blurred vision, dizziness, itchy or dry skin, fatigue or frequent infections. Any one or a combination of these symptoms should prompt a person to seek
medical help. “Prolonged elevated blood sugar can lead to long-term complications such as kidney damage, sexual problems, cataracts, glaucoma, retinopathy, nerve damage known as neuropathy and an increased risk for heart attack and stroke,” Jones said. “By keeping the blood glucose as close to normal as possible a diabetic has a greater chance of prolonging the onset or preventing these complications.” The Diabetes Care Fair will include something for everyone including diabetics, pre-diabetics, those at risk for the disease, family members of diabetics and those interested in learning more about diabetes. For more information, call 417-257-6793.

MDC offers expert insights on fall deer hunting Hunters can help increase deer numbers in areas by limiting doe harvest where needed
With deer hunters gearing up for fall hunting, experts with the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) offer their insights on Missouri deer numbers and factors that can impact fall deer hunting. According to MDC Deer Biologists Emily Flinn and Jason Sumners, deer populations in the northern, western, and central parts of the state remain below desired levels. However, they note that populations in these areas should be slowly rebounding because of recent cuts in firearms antlerless permit allocations and hunters voluntarily reducing antlerless harvest. In southern Missouri, deer populations range from stable to slowly increasing. In southeastern counties, deer populations have increased. REGIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS NORTHWEST: Some of the most dramatic deer population declines in Missouri over the last 10-years have occurred in the northwest region, explained Flinn. However, because deer populations vary locally, not all areas have low deer numbers. “Decreased deer populations are a result of naturally occurring hemorrhagic disease (HD) outbreaks, previous liberalized harvest regulations, and land-use changes,” she said. “The most significant declines have occurred in Atchison, Buchanan, Clinton, DeKalb, and Holt counties. However, deer populations should be slowly rebounding because of recent cuts in firearms antlerless permit allocation and hunters voluntarily reducing antlerless harvest. However, some counties -- including Worth, Harrison, and Mercer --
continue to exhibit fairly stable harvest trends compared to other northwest counties.” Flinn explained that biting midge flies spread viruses that cause HD. The disease hit the region particularly hard in 2012. In areas where deer numbers are still below desired levels from HD and other factors, she advised hunters to reduce their antlerless harvests to allow deer populations to rebound. “Additionally, if crop harvest is delayed then it could impact early deer hunting by providing more cover and food sources, causing deer to be distributed more widely throughout the landscape,” she said. KANSAS CITY AREA: While populations vary throughout the Kansas City area, rural population declines are a result of long-term high doe harvest and the 2012 hemorrhagic disease outbreak. Across much of the Kansas City region, deer numbers should begin to slowly increase over the next few years with continued conservative antlerless harvest. Flinn advised that in rural areas where the deer population is not increasing as quickly as desired, hunters should reduce the antlerless harvest to allow the population to rebound. SOUTHWEST: Deer numbers in southwestern counties are slowly increasing due to conservative antlerless harvest regulations implemented in 2009. The region includes rural, suburban, and urban areas along with varying habitat. OZARKS: Deer numbers in the Ozarks have remained generally stable to slightly increasing, noted Flinn. In forest-dominated areas such as
the Ozarks, acorn production can significantly influence harvest based more on where deer are than how many deer may be an area. Early indications of acorn production for this fall show a good redoak production and an average white-oak production. SOUTHEAST: According to Sumners, deer populations are relatively diverse in this region due to varying habitat cover and use, and the impact of harvest regulations. Several counties have experienced gradual population increases including Bollinger, Butler, Cape Girardeau, Madison, and Stoddard. “However, Ste. Genevieve County has experienced deer population declines due to high hunting pressure, coupled with a shift in harvest from bucks to does that resulted from the antler-point-restriction, or APR,” Sumners said. “Therefore, the APR has been removed, starting with this fall’s hunting season, to allow the population to grow.” ST. LOUIS AREA: Deer numbers in the St. Louis region have generally remained stable for the past several years. However, deer populations can vary among and within a county as result of varying hunter densities and hunting limitations in urban areas. NORTHEAST: Deer populations in the northeast region have generally declined over the last 10-years as a result of hemorrhagic disease (HD) outbreaks and previous liberalized harvest regulations. However, deer populations should be slowly rebounding because of recent cuts in firearms antlerless permit allocation and
hunters voluntarily reducing antlerless harvest. “Biting midge flies spread viruses that cause HD and disease outbreaks occurred locally throughout several counties in 2012, 2013, and 2015,” Sumners explained. “In areas that have had HD outbreaks, we encourage hunters to reduce their antlerless harvests this year as needed to help increase local deer numbers. However, this is not representative of all northeast areas as deer populations vary locally due to hunter density and goals, hemorrhagic disease outbreaks, habitat cover and use.” He added that hunters should evaluate local conditions and work with neighbors to determine and harvest the appropriate number of does to meet population goals. Additionally, if crop harvest is delayed then it could impact early deer hunting by providing more cover and food sources, causing deer to be distributed throughout the landscape. CENTRAL MISSOURI: “Deer numbers vary among counties in central Missouri,” said Sumners, “however, most populations in these areas should be slowly rebounding because of recent cuts in firearms antlerless permit allocations and hunters voluntarily reducing their antlerless harvests. Reducing the number of does being harvested will help increase deer numbers by having more does left to produce more fawns.” CWD IN CENTRAL AND NORTHEAST MO In contrast to a desire to generally increase deer numbers in central and northeast Missouri, MDC implemented two new deer-hunting regulation
changes in eight central and five northeast counties starting this fall to reduce or stabilize deer numbers. The changes are an effort to help limit the spread of Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) in the areas. The disease has been found in Adair, Linn, and Macon counties in northeast Missouri and in Cole County in Central Missouri. The regulation changes eliminate the antler-point restriction (APR) and increase the availability of antlerless permits from one to two in the Department’s recently expanded CWD Management Zone in northeast Missouri of Knox, Putnam, Schuyler, Scotland, and Shelby counties. The same regulation changes were implemented in 2012 in MDC’s original CWD Management Zone in the region of Adair, Chariton, Linn, Macon, Randolph, and Sullivan counties. The regulation changes also apply to the central-Missouri counties of Boone, Callaway, Cole, Cooper, Miller, Moniteau, Morgan, and Osage. Sumners explained that the APR regulation change is aimed at no longer protecting young bucks from harvest. “Young bucks can potentially spread the disease to new areas as they search for new territories and mates,” he said. “And the additional antlerless harvest opportunities can help prevent undesired population increases in local deer numbers in and around where CWD has been found,” said Sumners. To help slow the spread of CWD, MDC also strongly encourages deer hunters not to move whole carcasses out of the 11 northeast and eight central counties that make the Department’s CWD
Management Zone. “CWD can be spread to new areas and infect new deer through infected carcass parts or soil contaminated by infected carcass parts,” he explained. “We recommend removing meat in the field and leaving the carcass behind. If hunters must move a carcass before processing, place the remaining carcass parts after processing in trash bags and properly dispose of them through a trash service or landfill.” MDC also asks hunters and landowner to not feed deer or place minerals because CWD is transmitted from deer to deer and can spread more easily when deer gather in unnaturally concentrated numbers. Sumners also asks hunters who harvest deer in the 11 northeast and eight central counties of the MDC CWD Management Zone to have their deer tested for CWD. Participating locations can be found on pages 8-9 in the Department’s 2015 Fall Deer & Turkey Hunting Regulations and Information booklet, or on the MDC website at www. mdc.mo.gov. It only takes a few minutes to collect a sample, and there is no charge to the hunter for testing. Hunters can also receive test results for their harvested deer. MORE INFORMATION?
