The problem in Missouri is trophy hunters. We have a lot of out of State hunters here. If it's not a trophy they let it walk by. Very common to find a carcass in the timber with the head and cape removed.Opposite in CO. There are so many people hunting now it is ridiculous. Last year was the first year I wasn’t able to draw any tag. Every year they set a new record for applicants and licenses sold. We have months and months of seasons now. Archery starts 9/2 and I still see orange out there today.
People just suck at hunting…
This past season only 17% of the Deer tagged in my County were by residents of the County. At least 90% of hunting ground is leased by these out of town hunters. You could forego seasons and let people hunt year around and we'd still be over populated.
