Missouri Non Res Changes

[realunlucky]

the argument was 1 buck tag, possibility of quota permits, and 1 other thing. Dont blame me for believing what folks write.

I know the laws where i hunt, rely on folks to fill in the gaps elsewhere. Research it all you want.

I don't have to research it- I was well informed and commented to the MDC with my opinion after hunting missiouri as a non-resident for over twenty years.

As usual they make rule changes to say they did something but that won't address the issue.

You are correct that less tags costing sufficiently more money is the bleak future of hunting out of state.

Did you read the stats @Marine4life posted?

If Missouri allocated 10-15% of tags to NR like a lot of western states do .... there would be exactly the same number of NRs hunting Missouri as there are right now. 12% of the hunters are funding 53% of the tag revenue. If you cut that number by half, do you expect them to pay twice as much? Or do you expect Resident tag prices to double?

Oh wait, they don't pay for tags in Shannon County

It’s not a money grab, MDC is only 17% funded by license sales and the balance being the 1/8 cent state wide sales tax. Missouri is the best funded wildlife department in the country.
