Living in Mississippi, I've been turkey hunting in Missouri for 20 yrs. The popularity of the once "untouched" Mark Twain has grown way beyond belief during the spring turkey season. And the MDC has been keeping up with it. Just look at the price of out of state licences in the last 10 yrs. There is no inflation rate that high. Your MDC is surely taking advantage of us out of staters. We have other places to hunt - we just love what you have. We are paying way too much to come up there and just kill one turkey the first week. As much as I love the scenery and the beauty of your Missouri public land - I think I'm gonna get my 3 birds in the great state of Mississippi and then make a trip over to Texas. You can take 4 birds over there and the license is a combo with deer tags for $300. We're spreading the word to boycott Missouri next spring. We'll see if they're listening. I also wonder about MDC.
