Missouri's early Firearms Deer Youth Portion was this past weekend with young hunters harvesting 18,706 deer. Top harvest counties were Franklin with 390 deer harvested, Howell with 389, and Pike with 366. More current harvest results at extra.mdc.mo.gov/widgets/harvest_table/. Harvest results for past seasons at short.mdc.mo.gov/o4E. Congrats to Owen Morrison (11) of Benton on harvesting this buck on Peck Ranch Conservation Area opening morning. He is shown with his dad and Conservation Agent Korben Tucker, who helped retrieve the deer.
