Oh, and you have to pick which season you wish to hunt. ML or regular firearms.

PS, none of that will ever happen. MDC is not as worried about big bucks as they are big numbers of hunters in the woods. it's call bang for the buck. Too many only hunt firearms deer and it is too much revenue to mess with.

Start gun season Oct 25th and have it run through Thanksgiving. Then have muzzleloader season start the following Saturday, and run though Christmas.

Oh, and year round squirrel season.

WM, you mean squirrel season doesnt run year round?

Saturday of Memorial weekend through Feb 15.

Move bow season to June 15th - September 15th, shooting hours 4-6am and 7-9pm only.

I say any rules to fornicate the gunhunters bigtime, I'm all for them.

WM I hate squirrels. They have eaten about 1500 dollars worth of roof on my house and God called 3 of em home last week...Now I wasnt actually hunting em, just killin em. So I wasnt illegal cause I wasnt hunting.

Jeese PS, don't you know that we live in the glory days of deer hunting?

The reason they aren't worried about big bucks is because that's really a pretty stupid way to manage a herd. I'm not opposed to it, but I recognize it's stupid.

WOW, another semi sensible post from the MOTY.

I'd like to see the "4pt on a side" rule expanded to all state conservation areas.

PS - What difference does it make? Missouri could outlaw all gun hunting and make you the only bowhunter in a 5 county area and you'd STILL shoot a 120" sammich deer year in and year out!

You need to up that number to 130" sammich deer and I'll agree with your statement. My 10 best deer net over 130". Up yours OF. Up yours!

Oh, and how is that for bragging?

Why would anyone assume the revenue would decrease if they moved the season? The gun only hunters will femaledog for a while but still hunt in Dec. like they always did. In a couple years the fuss would be over and they will have moved on.

Keith - But do you think the MDC would actually risk that large of a chunk of $$ just to appease a few bowhunters? Gun hunting and shooting for is what MDC and Missouri deer hunting is about anymore.
