Word is out that next year you will not be eligible for landowner deer permits unless you have 80 acres.

So we originally had 314 acres, in the family for 104 years. When my dad died, my brother and I split the sheets. I now have a 75 acre tract and a 69 acre tract, and just co signed a note to buy an adjoining 50 acres, but that is in my sons name. So we have owned land here for over 100 years. and own 194 basically, it is just not contiguious as one tract is 1/4 mile up the road. So now we need to buy deer permit to kill our own deer??????


Not going to happen, so guess I will be a criminal. My hunting buddy is a conservation agent so I thing I got the information pretty well legit.

Maybe we need to repeal their sales tax, I bet the Missouri Conservation will change their minds then. I`ll shoot and freeze them, tag or no.
 
Should be some way round that. Do tenats get the same rights as land owners? What if you had 100 acres and there was an easment down the middle of it? 30' in legal terms is the same as a mile. If I felt that hunting on my own property with out paying an extra tax on it would keep me up at night, I'd fight it.

Only thing is, if you fight it and loose you will be watched alot closer.

With that said, you may want to just keep quiet. If you think it'll keep you up at night, make sure to pay your property tax right before season. Then you won't feel so bad about not paying the deer tax.

Good luck and let us know how it works out next year.

Haven't heard any thing about it but if it does happen I bet there will be a lot of phone calls from mad people that own say 5-40 acres who have been able to get them for years free.

Hi Gene, what part of MO are you in? Anyway, it is true that the change has been made. I don't necessarily agree with someone on 5 acres getting permits for free but I dont disagree with it either. There are a lot of folks that own 40 acres and allow another person to hunt with them. It seems to me that this might just alienate the smaller landowners and back fire on the department. They want us to allow other people on our land but then take away incentives for us to own the land. At this time I won't be affected since I have 178 contiguous acres but what happens when they decide it needs to be a priveledge for those with 200 acres? Then 300 etc. till there is no longer a landowner permit at all? I guess I will go now before I force myself into a bad mood.

It's 50 acre minimum in my part of New York (for doe tags). I've got a lot more land than that - but - if I hunt during deer season, I have to buy a license to hunt on my own land. Much easier to get pest-permits from the conservation department and shoot deer and turkey off-season. No license needed, and often - with deer - the meat is a lot better. Deer often have better meat when they haven't been running scared for a few weeks.
 
Given all the car-deer strikes they ought just declare an open season for couple years and forget about permits.
 
Those rule changes are rugged. Especially the one about landowner deer permits being limited to hunters six years and older. How is a youth supposed to get started with this kind of govermental interference?
 
I have about 42 acres in Osage co., Mo. My uncle owns the 160 that adjoin mine. I hunt both of them but I still buy a tag because legally I would be hunting with no permit on his property. I also hunt in Dec. on a friends farm about 100 miles away.
