Missouri’s Deer Disease: MDC Responds on CWD, EHD, and Targeted Removals | 100% Wild Podcast Ep.444
MDC Director Jason Sumners and biologist Jason Isabelle join us to tackle Missouri’s most controversial deer topics: CWD vs. EHD, drought effects, and why the Department uses targeted removals in small, defined areas. We dig into what happens to those deer, who’s authorized to conduct removals, and how MDC plans more face-to-face conversations with hunters.
