After October 15, 2018 does may be harvested in Moultrie County. This restriction was put in place to reduce the overall doe harvest in order to grow the deer herd in Moultrie County, which remains below its population goal after a 2012 outbreak of Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease decreased the herd dramatically.
