Missouri Nonresident tag jump again.

I find it funny; it was everywhere when Missouri cut the nonresident bird limit down to one spring bird. But not a peep about the tag price increase. Up from 246.00ish to 304.00 ish.

My home state of Arkansas did the same. Cut non residents to one turkey and charge $300+. Missouri is following our lead. Both states have a one turkey limit for the first week.

It's terrible for hunters and isn't backed by any research or data. States and their resident hunters have got to chill out a bit on taking away hunter opportunities.

Non res for Florida now requires an annual license, turkey permit, and wma permit if hunting on public. Comes out to around $305

Yup. And Texas is now requiring an annual general hunting license to hunt turkey this year as well. $315

States at each others neck in a price war has to stop. 
Enough is enough. 
I've said it before on another site.
Every new asinine reg not backed by sound biological data is creating more and more hunters throwing their middle finger to the regs and going on about their business. 

Missouri's survey results did not support their new regs.  The price increase and NR limit is strictly tied to Arkansas NR changes.  IMO.

One reason we didn't hear a peep about the tag increase, is that it was kept pretty hush. I looked multiple times and only documentation I found within the past several months was them rising the price ~$15 to like $258. I did see the $300 proposal last summer, but that was before they decided to drop the limit to 1. I assumed since they dropped limit they ditched the $300 stuff. Nope!
