Top two statewide government officials skip out on open of deer hunting season.

The top two statewide officials did not kick off the opening of the November deer hunting season with a big bang nor a big buck. Laura McNamara is at the Capitol.

Saturday marked the opening of the third portion of Missouri's firearm deer hunting season. But a spokesperson who insisted on remaining unidentified confirmed that Governor Bob Holden was not among those tracking deer this past weekend. Lieutenant Governor Joe Maxwell also skipped out and spent his weekend in Toronto. The Conservation Departments News Services Coordinator Arleasha Mays said over seven hundred and fifty thousand permits were issued for this November's ten day period.

The November portion of hunting season will end on the twenty-third of this month. Deer hunting season first opened midway through September with the archery season and will end with a second archery season on the fifteenth of January.
