Newton County added to Missouri's Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) Management Zone for the fall deer hunting season, with hunters required to follow different regulations and potentially mandatory sampling. The state has implemented management strategies to reduce CWD spread, including designating affected counties and those within 10 miles of a positive case as part of a Management Zone. Turkey hunting permits will no longer be included with archery permits.
