MDC managed deer hunt applications open July 1

JEFFERSON CITY, MO. (KTVI) – Nearly 6,000 deer hunters will have a chance to participate in more than 100 managed hunts through the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) from mid-September through January. Hunters can apply online for these managed deer hunts beginning July 1 through Aug. 15.

MDC holds an electronic drawing to determine who gets to participate in managed deer hunts at conservation areas, state parks, national wildlife refuges and urban parks. The hunts are open to Missouri residents and nonresidents, and help achieve MDC’s deer-management goals for the state while also providing additional hunting opportunities.

Types of hunts include archery, crossbow, muzzleloader, historic methods and modern firearms, plus youth hunts and hunts for people with disabilities.

Zoo Debuts Baby Lemurs

Submitted by KTVI-KPLR Staff

Monday, June 17th, 2013, 5:21pm

ST. LOUIS, MO. (KTVI) – The St. Louis Zoo can give three cheers for its three newest members.

‘These are critically endangered lemurs,’ says Primate Keeper Shannon Farrell. ‘These guys represent a species found only in Madagascar.’

But you can see them here at the St. Louis Zoo thanks to their species survival plan to increase the number of these black and white ruffed lemurs.

‘Zanahari is the male,’ says Farrell. ‘Andrianna is the female and the other female’s name is Vintana. They’re all Malagasy names because we want to represent Madagascar because that is where they’re from.’

But their numbers have been dwindling due to mankind.

‘We’re kind of encroaching on their territory,’ says Farrell. ‘People are using lemurs for bush meat and it’s being deforested there.’

Off Duty Firefighter Rescues man from River Des Peres

Submitted by KTVI-KPLR Staff

Sunday, June 16th, 2013, 5:55pm

ST. LOUIS, MO. (KTVI) – An off duty St. Louis City firefighter came to the aid of a man on who drove into the River Des Peres on Sunday, Father’s Day.

Firefighter Chris Dimza was driving in the area and stopped to see why a crowd of people was pointing toward the river. Dimza, who is part of a water rescue unit stationed in north St. Louis, dove into the river and swam toward bubbles. A man surfaced briefly and the firefighter managed to bring him safely to shore.

A neighbor who saw part of the rescue said the truck could not be seen. “He’s fantastic; he’s a hero,” said Steve Jacox. Dimza declined to be interviewed. Fire Department Public Information Office Capt. Dan Sutter said the young man had been a fireman for about four years and had special training in water rescues.
