Not many hunters like there used to be WHY ?

It may be well that Missouri is in trouble when it comes to deer and turkey..All the reports I have been getting from my area are poor..Now that does not mean the rest of the state is that way..No one seems to have an answer.No one is finding dead deer or turkeys carcases. In my county which will remain nameless in the month of October the MDC reported 3 yes three turkeys for the month..Now I know not many hunt the birds that month but last year it was 112..Are they truthful ????
  Deer hunting was tough this year in many places.First of all the main rut was very early.The second week of October about 2 weeks earlier this year..I know a lot of you think its November like the MDC tells you,but like I have said before if you start seeing fawns in late April and early May just count backwards 7 months.which is the gestation period.Its pretty much the same whether you are in New York or Idaho.I lived and hunted in both places..When I worked for a game dept out west we were told to make sure you tell if asked the rut was November even for the Elk which most Elk hunters know is BS. To make things even harder the weather was not the greatest and the leaves hung on all season which is very short for rifle hunters.They took a day from you and gave it to the kiddie daddy poaching season plus the kiddies get to hunt all the rest of the seasons...
    

They are dumb in Arkansas too

It seems a few weeks ago from the best info I can gather down in Northwest Arkansas in rifle deer season a 72 year old woman was shot..It was the usual answer "I thought it was a deer" Poor woman was just looking for mushrooms..but the articles insinuate she might not have been shot if she had on orange..Thats bullshit.Believe it or not there are more people out there that do NOT know about hunting seasons and why should they???/they do not hunt.I put a lot of the blame on these game departments for them giving these so called hunters a season where you do not have to look for antlers,just shoot and go see if you hit something..OH Hell its a person but its there fault cause they had no Orange on..I hunted Idaho for decades and their safety records are second to none. 65 percent of the hunters in Idaho are from out of state and you had better know what you are shooting at considering they have whitetail,mule deer,elk, moose, sheep,and cattle in someplaces..
   If you have the pleasure of going to hunt there you will see NO ONE wearing orange.Well when I visit other hunters at night they all seem to agree when they see something move they have to make sure first its the game they have a tag for and also its not another hunter because they are not wearing orange..Ask why don,t they since they have that choice most say I did not buy this camo to cover it up with orange..All that orange does is make it easy for the officers sitting in their rigs to spot you..
