More non-resident discrimination.....take time to read the entire article. This is a feel good and nothing more. Non residents account for 8-9% of hunters and 10-13% of harvest. Those harvesting a second gobbler is biologically insignificant.

Thanks for posting. I gave my 2 cents worth in the survey.

Yep me too!

Making it a single bird for non res. would suck for me anyway!  I can see it for public but if one has access why not let them shoot two, one and one or two on private?

I generally killed one and one, but the past two seasons all were on private.

With MO. season structure it is set up in favor of the resident already!

I have such a convenient way to hunt there, public or private I hope they do not limit me to one bird!

[Tail Feathers]

It's much easier to justify the out of state license fees and travel expenses for two birds instead of just one.  MO will hurt their own pocket book with this measure.

Mo doesn't care about tag sales its just a drop in the bucket to the 1/8 cent sales tax income.

Half the experience and half the birds should be half the money.

Their own turkey hunters who hunt out of state will suffer as a result too. Because other states and hunters in other states will take notice and eventually respond with non-resident restrictions too. We've been watching this exact same thing play out for years.

Non-residents everywhere might as well be prepared for a future pricing structure of ~$300 for a single bird.
