KANSAS CITY Mo -- Michael Utt watched for two quarries from his hunting stand during the recent firearms deer season, an all-white deer for his camera and a white-tail deer for the freezer. Utt bagged both.
A Sugar Creek resident, he was hunting near Lake of the Ozarks on Nov. 13 when a white deer moved through the woods. He knew such a deer was in the area and was carrying a camera just in case, so he shot some photographs. Later, he found the deer in another location and took more photographs.
CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. – Landowners and farmers can receive incentive payments from the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) for developing habitat in areas that are marginal crop ground. The department’s annual idle-land-set-aside program is intended to provide rabbit and quail habitat on drought-prone sandy soils.
According to MDC Private Lands Conservationist (PLC) Brandon Wirsig, this program is just one of many private-land incentive programs MDC hopes landowners will take advantage of.
