Yes I was. And yes those things are true. I will have to read up on rest of thread when time allows.

Appreciate it. There's one in every crowd.

480,000 deer hunters. Ask any 1 of them.

Goal 1 from MO 2014 Management Plan (they do these every 10 years)

Yup- I have 280 acres at my home farm. I have been running 25ish cameras the last 6 or so weeks. Not a single buck over 3.5 y/o

There are no "Studies" Its a simple observation that is obvious for anyone who has spent any time hunting in MO or runs trail cameras on a somewhat regular basis. Jason I. has confirmed this as well.

Biologically balanced sex and age structure. Firearms season in peak rut exposing bucks when their heads are more/less detached from their bodies seeking does in estrous. In most areas there very few or no bucks over 3.5 years old and does outnumbering bucks 4-5 to 1.

As MO's resource the 1st priority should be for the resource itself and its conservation. 2nd should be regulations beneifcial regulation to residents of the state- which encourage new hunter recruitment/retention/access for a quality experience. If diners and truck stops are that close to...

I think it will be an item of conversation. They are going to do more research and surveys before they do anything from the conversation I had. To your point I hope MDC will take some drastic measures to take up some regs more in line with IA.

As you guys man not like to hear, we will not be lobbying for that. Last thing we want is a run on ground like what is happening currently in Kansas. It's time to be conservative for MO residents and the resource. Long overdue.

Snapped couple pics. These were 12-18" tall when I planted this spring. Leaves are rolled up probably because I left tubes on too long. Added a pic of pitch-lobblolly pine for fun.

It is not legislative at all. Mo is very different than most states. 4 member Conservation Commission approves regulation changes, most times from recommendations from MDC director, program supervisors (Jason I) and resolutions from CFM (Conservation Federation of Missouri). I'm life member...

Sorry to be bearer of bad news (for you), currently it sounds lie NR Draw is much closer to being a reality than I expected after my call with Jason. Non-resident invasion is a huge problem for Mo resident hunters & something has to be done.

Skip- I that doubletree mix planted or something different?

I got him lined out for early next week.

I had a call with Jason Isabelle Last Thursday. The conversation was constructive and I learned that hunter satisfaction and survey data heavily weigh on regulations. Firearms Season Timing- (moving season later) 2016 Survey in NE and NW regions of the state 15-20% supported 55-60% opposed...

I failed to get pics the other day, but about half the seedlings I planted are now over 4'tall and loaded with big leaves. Caged them last weekend.

Im an hour south of Kirksville.

I have a guy up that way, text me approxomate location and I can see if its easy for him.
