NEED HELP HUNTING EASTERNS !!!!
« on: March 22, 2009, 09:28:01 PM »
I am looking for someone who would show me a good spot to hunt easterns. I have harvested a rio and several merriams, however to date I have walked and driven tons of miles (every year for the past 3) with out so much as seeing sign.  :yike:

If someone would be willing to show me a good eastern spot, I would be willing to show them my honey hole for merriams.

Please help!!!! I only need one eastern and then i'm never gonna hunt that side of the mountains again!!!!!
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me

well I'm a security guard, an army vet, a college student, and a father of 2. I enjoy fishing, clamming, and hunting and just about any thing to do with the outdoors. I have been hunting birds since I was 10 and started hunting turkey and big game when I got back from Iraq in 05. My wife says I hunt way too much...LOL!!!! I am a member of DU, PF, QF, NWTF, and HH, but can never attend the meetings due to the odd hours I work and to college. Oh yeah I'm a MH for the state.

I also enjoy long walks on the beach, candle lit dinners, quiet conversations..... kidding  :P

what's an MH though?

and Greg, check out the thread titled "Easterns" I've been really fighting these things too but guys have given me a lot of pointers in that thread about how to hunt them, and where to look. They are different creatures.

Missouri is pretty much the s&*t for Easterns. 
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

Dustin07,
if your interested in the MH you have until the end of the month to put in for your package. and then have a year to complete it. the course is challenging and about historically about 10-25% of applicants pass the course. But it sure teaches a lot of knowledge. I would strongly encourage you to enroll. theMH have done alot in the last couple of years to further hunter-landowner relations in the state

I've read up on the wdfw site about it and have thought a lot about it. I may still drop an application in the mail. I have it printed already (about a month ago) with a blank check on it... but it is a big commitment and i don't want to start unles I know I can finish. My brother gets home from Iraq today thoughs, so maybe if he's interested in doing it with me it would be easier. We've talked about it for years.
