I think MO has an alright program with wildlife, I dont mind paying for the permits i use/ or dont use(ex:Trout license). i dont fish to many areas for trout besides Bennett Springs or on the Niangua river but planning on trying taney and bull shoals more for which the Stamp would be needed.
I dont catch boat loads of fish but enough to keep me active in the sport of eating or C&R.
I enjoy the outdoors so i buy a deer tag or turkey tag but havent ever killed either one yet. People say its a waste of money but i just like sitting and enjoying the nature, eventually one of these days ill kill something.
