The Missouri Department of Conservation reported Wednesday that hunters killed 1,242 deer during the urban portion of Missouri’s firearms deer season Oct. 9 through 12. The number is almost double last year’s total.

Counties entirely or partially open for the urban portion were St. Charles, St. Louis, Jefferson, Boone, Cole, Greene, Christian, Cass, Jackson, Clay and Platte.

Hunters in Boone County tagged 247 deer, followed by St. Charles with 160 and Green with 139. 80 percent of the deer killed were does.
