Well again Missouri has been very kind to me again this year! Two years in a row that I have got birds on back to back days!  And both hunts this year only lasted about 20 minutes from fly down to dirt naps. So the next 3 days I will be calling here in Missouri for a good friend and if the thunder storms let up I think we will be getting two more big toms! 5.2.2012 25 lbs., 10 in. beard and 1 in. spurs  5.3.2012 25 lbs., 10.5 in. beard and 1 1/4 in. spurs  What a fun trip so far! I almost forgot the crappie fishing in the afternoon here in Missouri has been pretty good too! When it's not raining!   |

dawoz- 2 birds 4 - $190.00 is great deal! I always go the last week of the season, as you can take both your birds on back to back days then. The first week you can only take one bird and then after that first week you can go after your second bird. Missouri has a very good population of birds and is a non-resident friendly state. They have had a mild spring for the past few years and have a good population of young birds as well. This spring has been in a little wet in some parts of the state, but overall not bad. The two web sites that Kentucky Lake posted are great references for information on Missouri regs and maps.

Missouri is probably one of the best outdoor states in this part of America. Missouri has Black Bear, Elk, Bobcats, Wild Hogs, Badgers, Pheasant, Grouse, Quail, good Duck/Waterfowl hunting. Missouri is said to be the #1 Turkey hunting state in America. Missouri is also one of the top 10 B &C Buck states right now. Missouri has over 2 million acres of public hunting land, and over 400,000 acres worth of public Lakes. There is also the Mississippi River, and Missouri River. There have even been around 30 Mountain Lions confirmed in Missouri in the last 10 years. Some Biologist say that within 5 years parts of Missouri may have a MT Lion population.
