[QUOTE="WilcoKen, post: 5526232, member: 16287"] I can certainly relate Ruger. Last year was my first to try Missouri. I was gung-ho thanks to the TWRA mess. Well Missouri was pretty much a trainwreck last year thanks to beavers clogging our field drain unbeknown to us until it was too late. Could not hunt the pit all of Jan last year--field would not drain and top of pit was under water. Fast forward to this year--ducks do not want any part of our field. It is very obvious. It is a huge waste of time and money hunting that field. Last week, I had a blast for 2 day's hunting Old Hickory with my son. We only killed 10, but the experience was 10x better than anything I've experienced this last 2 years in SEMO. Im sure there are good fields over there in SEMO, but I've decided its not worth all the hassles of driving nearly 4 hours for 1-2 ducks or worse yet getting skunked (happens alot). In a blind, we have a good breakfast, stay pretty dry and clean, and even kill a few ducks. Then drive 25 minutes to get home. I guess I have to accept a terrible draw system plus frustration with TWRA--and just take what I can get. I do plan on trying to find a private place in WTN in the next 2 years with my son and 2 others we know. If nothing else, Ive learned alot. Bootheel hunting sounds good, but for me, it has not lived up to the hype. Not even close. [/QUOTE]
