RE: outerstaters
 

I hunt turkeys in Missouri with an outfitter. Most of the turkey hunters Ive met in Missouri have welcomed me to the area. I hate to hear you dont like us from out of state.

RE: outerstaters
 

Sorry you feel that way Redneck. I have hunted turkeys on and off in Mo. for the past 30 years, and I have to admit that there are a lot more hunters now, but the population of turkeys in Mo. seems to be holding it's own. Remember that out-of-state hunters are an economic boon to many local businesses.

RE: outerstaters
 

i welcome any and all ethical turkeys hunters to our state. remember that while mo might not be a monster buck state that we do have the largest density of turkeys in the entire US.

RE: outerstaters
 

As long as you kill them legally and ethically, I could care less where you're from, or how you do it. Come on down guys:)

RE: outerstaters
 

Wow, I guess I better not come to Missouri. I sure don't want to feelunwelcomed.[&:]I'll just carry my business to Texas.[:-]

RE: outerstaters
 

no i dont mean it that way but i mean if you hunt unetihicially like for instances down here we had a out of stater do some baiting and such and the ones who trespass our if a ton of people come down to a tiny piece of public land like they do down here

RE: outerstaters
 

Those points are well taken Redneck. Unethical hunting hurts all of us - Me I turn in all poachers/tresspassersanytime anywhere.

I remember something like that that made me furious. We rent a few hundred acres of our land to out of state deer hunters every year, but ONLY for deer season. The place that they rent is one of my best for turkey hunting. Well, evidently they thought that since they rented it for deer season they had the right to turkey hunt it as well, after I'd made it clear that it was only a deer season lease. I was out one morning turkey hunting, had a gobbler working toward me, and I hear BOOM from that direction. Well nobody is supposed to be on that land but me, so I quickly made my way in that direction. I found one of the out of state deer hunters walking out of the woods. When I confronted him he claimed that he walked up on a gobbler and shot and missed him. I knew exactly what happpened. He heard that gobbler and cut him off, and when he walked by he took a potshot at him. [:@]Then I got just a little pissed off with him. In short I cussed him up down and sideways for hunting that land after I told him that I was the only one that turkey hunted the place. I'm a fairly big guy, since I stick to a heavy workout routine, so he was a tad nervous :D. Needless to say I invited him to leave my property, and he hasn't been back since, not even for deer season.

RE: outerstaters
 

way to tell him off

RE: outerstaters
 

Well the simple solution would be to buy your own damn land so we can't "swamp" you. Missouri is one of the best states there is for turkey hunting so be proud of that.....and get over it.

RE: outerstaters
 

i have noticed that 95% of the rednecks where i came from have the same kind of views. they believe that everyone should hunt in their own state. well most of them havn't been cultured enough to know better. what is supposed to happen to the people who don't have hardly any turkey populations in their state? it is well know that mo. has more turkeys than they know what to do with.

think about it this way mr. redneck, what happens if one day you want to hunt elk. you will have to leave your state to hunt elk, should the people of that state complain that you are in their state hunting. no. most of us live in the united states where we have the privlaged opportunities to leave our state and hunt game that we don't normally have where we are from.

RE: outerstaters
 

It all evens out, especially considering all the Missouri plates I know see in Illinois during deeer season:D

RE: outerstaters
 

okay but if i whent to hunt elk it would be way back in thw woods where nobody lives our i would go to a outfiter

RE: outerstaters
 

Welcome to the big MO.....If you get a turkey though....I get half of the breast.....as payment.;) Just cuz I still havent gotten one of my own.:(

RE: outerstaters
 

All I can ask is keep it civil folks - This is getting a litle out of hand.


And I will keep watchin'

RE: outerstaters
 

whats that supposed to mean and the only resason i brought up the post is because my uncle dont like outerstaers like the ones i described

RE: outerstaters
 

No one who has good sound hunting ehtics cares for any hunter who breaks the law we must all abide by. The laws are there to protect us and the game we choose to hunt.

And you are correct so I edited my previous post. - sorry

RE: outerstaters
 

its okay i was getting carried away but i do make a good point

RE: outerstaters
 

Out of state huntersprovide a great economic benefit to the states they hunt and they also help any state or town they stop through on the way to their hunt. I have met several out of staters that would be welcome to hunt with me anytime.

On the other hand private land isgetting harder to come by which upsets the local hunters (in my area anyway) because of out of state landowners, and leases. Which has led to several local hunters relying on public land or quiting all together. Our area is not a strong economical area (before the current economic crisis) so many of these guys cant/couldn't afford to match the price a non-resident is paying per acre or for a lease. This has resulted in hard feelings towards non-residents from some of the locals.

We also have allot of hound runners around here, they don't run during gun season, but they have had several run-in's with out of state hunters adding to the hard feelings. Some of them don't understand you can't control or get a lead on your dog before it goes into a property it shouldn't.

As I stated at the begining of my post, I have met som great out of staters and I have really enjoyed meeting them, but I can see how some people get frustrated.

RE: outerstaters
 

Lol... I havent seena thread on this forum like this in a while. Everybody is getting so bent out of shape! ;):D I see you point of view redneck,as long as you are referring to "jerk" hunters not just out of staters. I have ran into a lot of jerks in the past and some have been from out of state, makes me want to say go back where you came from. But I think most of the hunters that come to Iowa where I live are good guys and I have no problem with it. And by the way.....I'll see you in Missouri this spring.;);)

RE: outerstaters
 

Ahh, the selfishness. So you are complaining that someone else is daring to use the same public land that you are to hunt turkeys? And, GASP, they have a different state on their license?

It is public land, go knock on doors to find private, or get used to it. I hate the guys who feel entitlement to a public piece of ground. Sloppy hunters are from both in and out of state.

Ill eventually be seeing you in MO:), but for this spring I'm thinking it will be MS, KS, and KY. I hope to kill a turkey in as many states possible down the road.


Sure extra pressure can be tough, but hey, change it or put up with it...no one hunts public land because it is easy.

RE: outerstaters
 

I felt your pain in Md... Now I'm one of those guys I use to hate:DI live in Pa and hunt Md
