Oh man.....I'm not sure I feel like gettingall riled up today. I have mixed emotions on it, really. I'm actually for the AR's, but I don't like the way they're doing it. They SAY it's about killing more does....Oh, really?? Well then, why is it that in some of the counties that AR's are implemented the doe season isn't open, and we can only kill one doe out of those counties??? Hmmmm....could it be, those counties are already known to have some big bucks??? Could that be it??? Um, yeah. I would say so.

They can color it whatever shade they want, but state mandated QDM is about one thing, and one thing only. BIG BUCKS. And what do big bucks equal? That's right, big bucks.

And, why would you only implement them is PART of the state?? Why not all or nothing??? Doesn't make any sense to me.

For the last couple of years, AR's were only in 19 counties. I believe it's 36 this year. Roughly half of the state.

65 counties now have the 4 on a side. North half of the state minus 4 counties on the North east side .

Mobow it went from 29 to 65, if you joined the QDMA you would no more about your state[8D]

I've been for them and put my .02 worth in during the meetings this year. My main hunting county (yes it's a Big Buck Co as mobow put it) was added to the list. I will say that it is hard to get some folks to shoot does sometimes. There are two in our group that don't even buy doe tags which results in too many does on our property.

I personally hate STATE MANDATED AR's. What gives the state the power to decide whatsomeone should be happy with shooting! I hope they never make it down to SEMO.

You know what I agree, the state should not mandate anything IMO

No bag limits
Seasons
weapon's
Etc

Lets have a free for all[8D]

How sad for the hunters of Missouri, some of your choice has been eliminated because of a few antler obsessed fools. Indiana lost it's two buck rule the same way, and it hasn't changed a damned thing in five years. Be careful what you wish for, you may get it. [&o]
