Managed Archery Deer Hunt Planned at Pertle Springs This Winter
By Jeff Murphy, September 9, 2022
The ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ will host a managed archery deer hunt this winter,
serving a dual purpose of local deer population control and providing data collection
in support of research by ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ biology professor Anna Oller, Ph.D., and graduate student
Cameron Priester. The ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ hunts will take place Dec. 5-11, 2022, in the lower Pertle
Springs area (not including the golf course) and Jan. 2-6, 2023, in lower and upper
Pertle Springs (including the golf course). The Mules National Golf Course will be
closed Jan. 2-6 but Traditions restaurant will remain open normal hours.
The hunt is open to ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ alumni, current employees, and current students licensed to
hunt deer in the State of Missouri who have completed a Hunter Education course through
the Missouri Department of Conservation. Interested parties must complete an application
process. Participants will be selected by lottery. Those selected will be required
to attend an in-person mandatory informational meeting on Oct. 24, 2022, from 6 p.m.-7:30
p.m. at ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½.
The State of Missouri and City of Warrensburg may host other managed deer hunts on the same or different dates that are unaffiliated with ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ and not held on campus. For more information on ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½â€™s hunt, including how to apply to participate, please call Jeremiah Robison, ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½â€™s Assistant Director of Outdoor Education, at 660-543-8603.
