In a nutshell, MDC shrunk their CWD Zones from 48 to 29 counties (25 mile radius to 10 mile radius). Here is the gist of the article:
"The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) announces it has reduced the number of counties in its management zone for chronic wasting disease (CWD) from 48 to 29 starting in July. "
"MDC designed the CWD Management Zone in 2012 to include counties within 25 miles of where cases of CWD have been found. The 25-mile-radius was based on existing research from other states that shows deer may disperse up to 25 miles from the area where they were born, especially young bucks in search of territory or mates.
Recent MDC research shows more than 90 percent of bucks in Missouri disperse less than 10 miles."
