Oh hell...I completely misunderstood, and I read the damned thing three times. I was under the impression that all rates were going up, and you had to draw for any antlered tag. My apologies. I will pay the $225+$25 gladly..

I have always enjoyed my hunting in Missouri, even though they havent been incredibly fruitful. The area of St. Clair Co I hunt in doesnt seem to have an overabundance of deer...but I still love it. I may switch gears and try a Spring Turkey hunt next year, never done that there.
