Mike4Elk...Please, please take back your "option" that you speak of. I don't want it and know few who do. We have some of the best land and best herds to hunt whitetail deer in the world and that is largely in part because we kept out-of-staters "out" for so long and kept our herds in tact, but now also by managing the number of non-residents allowed to hunt here. Just because your conservation department has their head up their bung hole doesn't mean we should follow your lead. Close your borders, I don't want to hunt a state that has guns slingin' lead all over creation during the heat of the rut while the bowhunters and their bows collect dust waiting for the seige to end and all of the bucks dissiminated leaving little left in the way of quality animals to pass on quality genes. What a shame! And you all boast of record harvests every year...what a joke! Give it a few more years and the overall quality of bucks in Missouri will resemble places like Pennsylvania and other states back east with poor herds. Then if we have unlimited tags for non-residents, all the jokers from MO will come over to our paradise and desecrate it because you have no quality deer left to hunt!! I'll resist it to the end!!!

P.S. You want to know of a good place to hunt in Kansas? How about in the middle of the Kansas River? Lots of big bucks skulking there from what I hear!
