Seeing a decline in local veteransappreciation events this VeteransDay due to ongoing COVID-19 con-cerns, Bibb-Veach Funeral Homes inBowling Green is stepping up to fillthe void. On Wednesday, Nov. 11 from 8-
10:30 a.m., Bibb-Veach FuneralHomes in Bowling Green is invitingveterans and their spouses to jointhem for a Veterans AppreciationBreakfast at the funeral home. Ryan Bibb, owner of the funeral
home, while not being a veteranhimself is known for being a strongsupporter of our military, veterans,and local veteran organizations.Bibb says, "Military service runs
deep within both sides of my family.On the Bibb side his grandfather,Earl Benton Bibb and his brother,Philip Bibb Sr. both served duringWWII. Uncles Bonham Bibb andJim Mitchell have served as well,along with other relatives. On theNiemeyer side of the family great-uncles, Ansel and Bob Niemeyer,served along with relative SGT.Louis Andrew Niemeyer Jr., whowas killed in South Vietnam duringthe Vietnam War. Bibb’s father-in-
law, Howard Collins, also served inthe United States Navy duringWWII and spent time in both the At-lantic and Pacific theaters." "Growing up in Bowling Green,
my father taught us to take time topause and honor our soldiers. He al-ways took us to Memorial GardensCemetery on Memorial Day for theVFW service. That's something thatI've continued to pass down to mychildren. My mother was alwaysquick to stop and thank a soldier inuniform if they were out and about."Bibb doesn't just end his support
of veterans there. He carries thatinto the work he does in his profes-sional life at the funeral home. "I'malways looking for ways to improvethe services we provide to veteransthat have passed away." Every fu-neral home offers the same thing.Every home will help a family applyfor military honors, obtain the flagand government grave marker for afamily, and help arrange burial in anational or state cemetery. Whatseparates us is the extra things wedo. We go the extra mile by placingflags out front of the funeral homealong Main St. and flying the vet-
eran's branch of service flag underthe United States flag on our flag-pole. Inside the funeral home wedisplay the American Flag on a 9foot pole at the head of the casket aswell as the branch of service flag atthe foot of the casket. In front ofeach of these flags is a branch ofservice uniform that has been giftedinto our care from local veterans andtheir families to be used in honoringfellow veterans." Bibb-Veach Funeral Homes this
past year also implemented a GoldStar Family Salute Program. Thisprogram is in place, that if a soldieris killed in the line of duty, the fu-neral home will cover all expensesrelated to the disposition and serv-ices at no cost to the family. "Thisprogram is in place to give the peaceof mind to families that if the worstshould happen, our family and ourteam is there to take care of everydetail."Bibb-Veach Funeral Homes is the
area’s exclusive Life CelebrationFuneral Home in Pike and Lincolncounties. They can be found onlineat www.bibbveach.com and onFacebook.

However, with all the changesthat had to be made this year, the more than2,000 meals that were sold at barbecueproved that Bowling Green FFA can overcomechallenges with the community behind them.Those of you that came out to the barbe-
cue on Oct. 9 saw many different things at bar-becue this year. The hallway between thecommons and the auditorium was not filledwith a multitude of handmade desserts tochoose from. Members added a mask to theusual uniform of a chapter t-shirt, hat, andgloves. There was the added option of a drive-thru, which did not quite go off without a hitch,but was running smoother by the end of thenight.While we may not have been able to sit
down in the auditorium and catch up withfriends and community members after our shiftwas over, we still got to come together for an-other amazing BBQ, even if we had to enjoyour meals apart. Thank you to everyone whobought a meal and supported our chapter thisyear and in the past.American Degree Recipients: Every year

“This year’s harvest total is abouton par with the average over the lastfew years,” said MDC Cervid Pro-gram Supervisor Jason Isabelle.“Whenever you have a short seasonportion like the two-day early youth
portion, you can expect variability inthe harvest total from year-to-year.This year’s harvest of about 15,600deer puts us about in the middle ofthe range when compared to harvesttotals from the past five years.”
Missouri’s deer archery seasoncontinues through Nov. 13 and re-sumes Nov. 25 through Jan. 15,2021. The November portion offirearms deer season runs Nov. 14-24 followed by the late youth por-tion Nov. 27-29.

PROFESSIONAL PROCES-SORS
MDC encourages hunters whowill have their deer professionallyprocessed to check with meatprocessors about their availability toprocess deer this fall. Some meatprocessors around the state are re-porting higher-than-normal business
and may not be accepting deer forprocessing or will have significantdelays in processing deer.
CWD TESTINGMDC will continue to offer
statewide voluntary sampling andtesting of harvested deer for chronicwasting disease (CWD) during theentire deer season at select locationsthroughout the state, including par-ticipating MDC offices, cooperatingtaxidermists, and new freezer head-drop locations.

Turkey Hunters: MDC Wants Fall FeathersFeathers Needed For New MDC Research Project To
Help Improvement Wild Turkey ManagementThe Missouri Department of Conservation
(MDC) is asking Missouri turkey hunters tosave and share feathers from birds they har-vest this fall for part of a new research projectto help improve wild turkey management inMissouri.
MDC will send participating hunters mate-rials needed to submit feathers, including apostage-paid envelope for feather submis-sions. The materials will contain instructionsabout which feathers to submit. MDC askshunters to return the requested feathers in thepostage-paid envelope provided. Participatinghunters will also need to include the Telecheckidentification number for the harvested bird tohelp MDC determine from which Missouri
county it was taken.MDC asks participating hunters to retain
their turkey carcasses until MDC materials ar-rive, or to remove a wing from the turkey andseveral feathers from the lower portion of thebreast.
Turkey hunters who want to participate inthe MDC research project can get more infor-mation and provide their mailing addresses atmdc.mo.gov/turkeyfeathers. They can alsocall MDC at 573-815-7901 ext. 2940, or emailMDC’s Wild Turkey Management Program [email protected].

MDC Shares Important Information For Deer Hunting SeasonLearn About Deer Numbers, Seasons, Landowner Permits,Sampling, And Testing For Chronic Wasting Disease
The Missouri Department of Conservation(MDC) reports that deer numbers are increasingin much of the state and that trend should con-tribute to an increase in the number of deer har-vested this fall. MDC also reminds hunters andothers of available landowner permits, samplingand testing for chronic wasting disease, Share TheHarvest, and more.
DEER SEASON“Deer populations in much of southern Mis-
souri have been increasing slowly over time anddeer numbers in much of central and northern Mis-souri have rebounded from the severe hemorrhagicdisease outbreak in 2012 that caused a significantdecline in deer numbers in many counties,” saidMDC Cervid Program Supervisor Jason Isabelle.
Isabelle added that deer harvests in the statehave also been on an increasing trend since 2013and MDC expects this trend to continue this year.
“Increased hunter participation as a result of theCOVID-19 pandemic is also likely to contributeto a higher deer harvest this fall,” Isabelle said.“We saw a significant increase in the number ofhunters that pursued turkeys this past spring. If wesee a similar increase in hunter participation thisfall, it could lead to one of our highest deer har-vests in many years.”
He added that MDC has steadily increasedantlerless deer harvest opportunities in many coun-ties over the last several years in response to in-creasing deer numbers.
Archery deer hunting opened Sept. 15 and runsthrough Nov. 13. Archery season then reopensNov. 25 through Jan. 15, 2021. The Novemberportion of firearms deer season starts Nov. 14 andruns through Nov. 24. The alternative methodsportion runs Dec. 26 through Jan. 5, 2021. Afirearms antlerless portion runs Dec. 4 – 6. Youthfirearms portions run Oct. 31 to Nov. 1 and againNov. 27 -29.
Get more information on deer hunting in Mis-souri online at huntfish.mdc.mo.gov/hunting-trap-ping/species/deer and from MDC’s 2020 Fall Deerand Turkey Hunting Regulations & Informationbooklet, available where permits are sold and on-line at huntfish.mdc.mo.gov/fall-deer-and-turkey-hunting-regulations-and-information.
SHARE THE HARVEST & MEAT PROCESSORSMDC encourages hunters who will have their
deer professionally processed to check with meatprocessors about their availability to process deerthis fall. Some meat processors around the stateare reporting higher-than-normal business andmay not be accepting deer for processing or willhave significant delays in processing deer. Hunterswanting to donate to Share the Harvest are also en-couraged to check with their local meat processorsas some are not participating in the program thisyear.
Get more information on Share the Harvest on-line at huntfish.mdc.mo.gov/hunting-trapping/species/deer/deer-share-harvest.
MDC also has several virtual classes on deerand game processing and how to deer hunt. Getmore information on MDC virtual programs on-line at mdc.mo.gov/events/virtual.
LANDOWNERS PERMITMDC offers free and discounted landowner
permits for deer hunting to qualifying resident and
non-resident Missouri landowners. Missouri resi-dents must own at least 20 contiguous acres of landto receive no-cost resident landowner permits.Nonresidents must own at least 75 contiguousacres of land to receive reduced-cost nonresidentlandowner permits. To be eligible for landownerpermits, the property owner and others wanting tohunt the property using a landowner permit mustfirst complete an MDC Landowner Permit Appli-cation.
Learn more about landowner permits at hunt-fish.mdc.mo.gov/permits/qualifications-landowner-permits.
CWD REMINDERSMDC has changed its mandatory sampling re-
quirements for chronic wasting disease (CWD) tovoluntary sampling in 30 counties during the open-ing weekend of this year’s November firearmsportion of deer season. The change was promptedby public-health concerns regarding the COVID-19 pandemic.
The change will impact hunters who harvestdeer during the opening weekend of the Novemberportion of the firearms deer season (Nov. 14 and15) in any of the 30 MDC CWD ManagementZone counties: Adair, Barry, Cedar, Chariton,Christian, Clark, Crawford, Franklin, Gasconade,Hickory, Howell, Jefferson, Knox, Linn, Macon,Mercer, Oregon, Ozark, Perry, Polk, Putnam, St.Charles, St. Clair, St. Francois, Ste. Genevieve,Stone, Sullivan, Taney, Warren, and Washington.
While CWD sampling is no longer requiredNov. 14 and 15 for the 30 counties in its CWDManagement Zone, MDC’s 71 CWD samplingstations located throughout the zone will remainopen. MDC encourages hunters to have their deersampled for CWD on the day of harvest.
MDC will continue to offer statewide voluntaryCWD sampling and testing of harvested deer dur-ing the entire deer season at select locationsthroughout the state, including participating MDCoffices, cooperating taxidermists, and new freezerhead-drop locations. Sampling and test results arefree.
MDC reminds deer hunters to follow carcassmovement restrictions that are in effect to slow thespread of CWD. The new regulations prohibitmovement of whole deer carcasses and heads outof a CWD Management Zone county unless thedeer or head is being delivered to a licensed meatprocessor or taxidermist within 48 hours.
Get more information on CWD, sampling sta-tion locations, and related regulations online atmdc.mo.gov/CWD
SHOOTING FERAL HOGSDURING DEAR SEASON
Shooting and other methods of taking feralhogs is generally prohibited on conservation areasand other lands owned, leased, or managed byMDC. During deer and turkey seasons, the oppor-tunistic take of feral hogs by hunters with unfilleddeer or turkey hunting permits is allowed on MDCareas. Hunting feral hogs is allowed on privateproperty.
Report feral hog sightings to MDC at 573-522-4115, extension 3296, or online atnature.mdc.mo.gov/discover-nature/report-wildlife-sightings/feral-hog-sighting-and-damage-report.
Prep Pointers For Upcoming Hunting Season
Hunting is a popular hobby and sport en-joyed by millions of people across NorthAmerica. Over the last several years, datafrom the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service indi-cates that more and more females are takingup hunting.
Hunting seasons vary depending on whereyou live. Regulations designed by local con-servation, game, fish, and wildlife depart-ments often dictate the start and end ofhunting season. Although the licensing, sea-sons, limits, and fees for hunting may differgeographically, the preparation that goes intogetting ready for hunting season is similar re-gardless of geography.
Many seasoned hunters realize hunting sea-son does not begin on "opening day." Rather,it can take weeks or months to get ready for asuccessful season. Considering hunting sea-sons can be brief, preparation helps huntersmake the most of their time spent in the field.
* Purchase your license, tag or stamp.Many wildlife departments require huntersregister in advance of the season, and this reg-istration includes securing a hunting license.Because there is a limit to how many animalseach hunter can hunt, tags for the animalsthey're hunting also will be issued. Huntersplanning on going out for the season shouldstay apprised of when licensing and registra-tion begins and ends so they can hunt legally.
* Scout areas. The landscape can changefrom year to year depending on a host of fac-tors, including construction, commercializa-
tion and weather. Areas once open to huntingmay now be restricted lands. Map out yourpotential hunting location and be aware of anynew landmarks or changes.
* Check and replenish gear. Inspectweaponry, field-dressing supplies, clothing,and other supplies for wear and tear. Addressany issues that need to be fixed, or replaceitems as necessary. If a rifle, bow or shotgunhasn't been fired in a while, take it to a rangeto verify accuracy and sighting. If you huntout of a tree stand or blind, make sure it issturdy and in good condition prior to use.
* Get in shape. Hunting often requires hik-ing in and out of the great outdoors in variousterrain. It's helpful to increase physical activ-ity leading up to the hunt to prepare your bodyfor the physical demands of hunting.
* Organize and pack gear. Ensure yourequipment is clean, in working order andpacked away in your travel bags. Establish asystem of organization and a checklist soyou're certain you will have what you need.Don't forget to bring along your hunting li-cense and animal tags; otherwise, you may belevied with costly fines.
* Always hunt safely. It is quite easy to getswept up in the moment when tracking game.Don't let overzealousness cloud rationaljudgement and safety precautions. Otherwisean injury or even death can occur.
Hunting season is on the horizon and thatmeans preparing now for the few weeks ofsport to come.

CAUGHT IN THE HEADLIGHTS: Simple Tips To Avoid Deer CollisionsWith the deer population increasing across the
country, and living space for wildlife on the decline,the number of incidents involving a deer jumpinginto the path of a car has been steadily on the rise.This is especially true from October through De-cember when male deer activity dramatically in-creases, resulting in a significant rise in the numberof vehicular collisions.
A deer can literally come out of nowhere, leavingonly seconds to react. Even worse, the collision canresult in significant property damage and even life-threatening situations.
CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING:· Watch the clock. Deer are most active from sun-
set to midnight, and during the hours just before andafter sunrise, which are feeding times.
· Watch your speed. It's not just the speed of theanimal that plays a factor - it's the speed of the ve-hicle. Think about it: if you are driving your vehicleat a speed of over 60 miles per hour, you'll coverthe length of a football field in the same time it takesto change a CD.
· Keep your eyes open. Deer don't run alone. Ifyou see one, there are likely others nearby.
· Don't swerve. If a deer is suddenly in front ofyou, sound your horn to frighten it away. Breakfirmly, but stay in your lane. Serious crashes hap-pen when drivers swerve to avoid a deer, only to hitother vehicles or lose control of their cars.
· Wear your seat belt. Most people injured indeer/car crashes were unbuckled at the time.
