The Missouri AR law doesn't apply to the youth season, so the kid out on there first hunt can kill a spike.
We have a lot of does, so if what you are after is meat you still have
a great chance of filling your freezer. The jurry is still out if it will work here, that is why they are doing the trial in 29 countys. This will be the second year, I was kind of surprised they didn't expand it
to more counties this year. I for one hope it helps bring the doe/buck ratio of the herd more in balance and we will see more mature bucks
