Deer Hunting
White-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), or simply the whitetail. Although to some it may represent purely a seasonal pursuit, it symbolizes all that is majestic about the Missouri wild. The astonishing growth of the whitetail over the last four decades is not only testimony to the species, but to our commitment to the conservation principle itself—and to our very heritage. You will discover in this minisite the various aspects of this grand creature, from its North American history to how deer hunting has changed over the centuries and its practical realities in our modern world.
