Boone County leads in deer harvest

Nearing the close of the urban deer hunt, as of Oct. 6 Boone County leads all other Missouri counties with 330 deer taken, according to MDC's Telecheck.

Coming in at No. 2 is St. Louis County, with 230 deer taken. Trailing St. Louis County are St. Charles County (229) and Jackson County (221).

Follow county totals from this handy map, which also has a breakdown by antler buck vs. button buck vs. doe.

Because of the increasingly popular urban deer hunting seasons (last day is Oct. 6), these counties - home of major population centers - have the lead. General firearms season opens Nov. 15. Meanwhile, hunters can enjoy open archery season until Nov. 14.
