Quote from: Hooksfan on July 11, 2015, 08:16:17 AMHookhanger,Don't know why, but I'm gonna delve into this one. Your comments on this board full of turkey hunters whose experiences exceeds yours is a pizzing match comparable to trying to "Out Catholic the Pope", and is the main reason these type boards are getting old for me.If I were to guess, I would say you are a younger fella.Here's my advice: Relax a little. You will enjoy the hunt much more. You don't build a hunting reputation by your own testimonials. Other people do that for you and it takes years to occur.I have lived in Missouri for 18 years. There is no biological argument to maintain the 1 pm closure. Your rationale on why there may be changes coming is pure conjecture and unnecessarily conspiratorial. I am not a huge fan of MDC, but license sales are NOT their major source of income.I have written letters to the regulations committee in regards to the Youth regulation prohibiting successful youth portion hunters from taking part in the first week of the regular season.Glad you don't need to hunt after 1 pm to kill your birds. Why worry about how other folks may choose to hunt. My conjecture seems to point to the argument that most opposition to extending the 1 pm closure stems from the fear of someone else killing "my turkey".

I have shed so much blood, sweat, tears, and made enough memories to last a lifetime that y'all need to just adopt me as a resident turkey hunter. Doesn't seem that long ago we were paying $75 for a non-resident license. I honestly don't know why MO would change anything about their turkey management? The conservative structure provides for quality hunting. I don't know how much an effect all day hunting would have on the quality, but why change a good thing? I have walked away from quite a few working gobblers at the 1:00 pm cut off. Just adds to the experience of it all. I like that they offer a youth weekend, but would be in favor of being allowed another the first week. Early bow season....leave that for KS and bow hunt during the fall or regular spring season if choose to do so.
