Waterfowl seasons urged to start later in Missouri region
Southeast Missouri sportsmen at the Rustic Rock Inn in Sikeston urged a later waterfowl hunting season for ducks geese and other migratory fowls. The meeting with Missouri Conservation Commission officials supported placing the district in the southern regulatory zone and maintaining two geese and four ducks per hunter per day. The Mississippi Valley flyway accounted for 25 percent of duck population but 44 percent of duck stamp sales and kills. A minor clash arose over costs of trailers used by the commission as Rep C E Felker and Director L T Bode sparred over the price. No violence occurred.
