It's in some counties in Missouri, but it hasn't shown up in mine. Apparently, a buck got out of a pen in north central Missouri, he had CWD. It was one of those trophy hunt places, where they have some big bucks penned up. He started it in Missouri. The Mo Dept of Conservation has gone in and spotlighted and killed as many deer as they can find in the effected areas. They have really wiped the deer herds. Now I'm hearing that's what they tried in Wisconsin, and it didn't work. Of course, that was seen on the internet, so it has to be true.
They were testing deer in other "suspected" counties in Missouri. It's getting closer to me. Our deer numbers were up this year. At least to my untrained eye. More deer, especially legal bucks, than I've seen in the four years we've had our place.
Quail numbers are up too! I think the drought is helping the quail somehow.

9 yr old pond, 1 ac, 15' deep.
RES, YP, GS, FHM (no longer), HBG (going away), SMB, and HSB (only one seen in 5 yrs) Restocked HSB (2020) Have seen one of these.
I think that's about all I should put in my little pond.
