knorberg it's the same all over where i live we have good to great pheasant hunting depending on the year and every opening weekend you take your life in your hands to go hunting even on private ground with all the NR's and City boys down for the weekend alot don't mind tresspassing abit just to blast somthing and for most of these guys they don't care how much it costs as i think you'll find out if they raise the prices for NR tags in Mo.
