There is a thread in MO Hometown explaining how MDC is more narrowly re-defining the definition of pistol making alternative season more restrictive.  

There is a link in the thread where you can go and make comments from Apr 2 - May 1.  

I encourage you to tell them stuff their smokey hat where the sun don't shine.

Let your voice be heard. They will most likely  ignore the comments just as they did concerning the hunting of feral hogs but it might raise awareness as to how far out of control they are.

I did let my voice be heard.  

Several times.  

Likely ignored.  Sad.

Hope yours will be heard too?
