Thank you for all the replys. I have done my homework on this trip. I have read the Missouri hunting regulations, researched the different license types and bought forestry maps. I have also researched what is actually legal to shoot/hunt. Igoing to get a non-resident small game license. I'll probably go mostly for crows since they will be in season during that time.

Also, how crowded does the MTNF get during rifle season? Here in California, the national forests don't get tooover crowded with hunters during hunting season but then again I pick the most remote places to hunt. If you guys have any specific areas that would be good, by all means please tell me. I'm a very expereinced hunter and have all the proper gear. I'll be preparing for the worst but I know for sure I want to at least go out to the woods and try. Thanks again.
