[fallhnt]

Anybody heard if all day hunting will be allowed this Spring in MO.? All I've seen is season dates so far.

Well I'll start the fight. I for one hope they would let us hunt all day. Too many reason I would like it but to each their own JMO.

[Gamblinman]

I don't mind the hours, but that one bird for the first week is annoying.

We hunt MO in the morning and KS in the afternoon.

 there's several reasons MO has maintained good hunting.  1:00 is one of those.  Besides that the harvest report has been a steady decline for the last few years, so why would you want more pressure?

[stinkpickle]

The mushroom hunters start stomping around in the afternoons, so nests are getting disturbed, anyway.

[Hooksfan]

I am in the camp hoping it is changed. Complete nonsense, IMO.
It appears it will remain 1 pm for 2017;  however.

[SinGin]

Too many mornings with possible tornadoes, mushroom hunters in the afternoon and not much time to work is a few of my reasons. Now if I had the chance to hunt multiple states and many weeks, well then I might not care as much

I'm not a MO resident but I am in the "If it ain't broke don't fix it" camp.

Too many people want to ruin a good thing. Seems to me that Missouri hunters don't have any problems stacking over 20k birds per spring despite the the short season, 1 bird the 1st week rule and the 1 PM cut off. Make greater sacrifices to be in the woods more if turkey hunting is that important to ya or be more aggressive about improving your hunting abilities.

I am out of state like hunting mo. Please leave it at 1:00

[stinkpickle]

I would rather a hunter tag his bird during the afternoon of Day #1 and be done than leave at 1:00 and stomp back in there the next day.

Disclaimer: I am from Arkansas and have not yet hunted Missouri.

That being said, if I was a Missouri resident I would want them to leave it as it is now. I can tell you this- I love to travel and hunt turkeys but having to quit at 1 and only being able to kill 1 bird the first week is a big part of why I haven't hunted Missouri yet. If I was from Missouri that would be something that I am all for.

I am from MO and would prefer it to be left at 1:00. Would like the 1 bird the first week to change tho.
