I've often said that going from state to state is like going to another planet.

Phil, did you just write lots of letters, make calls, or what? I've also thought we need to split our dove seasons. We have dove for maybe a few days in September in North Missouri and the season is open through to November. We find congregated dove while quail hunting in December. It would be nice to be able to shoot some then.

As for shooting beaver...not legal in Missouri, either. You can trap them (and I assume dispatch one that does not drowned in a trap), but there is no hunting season on them.

An interesting country we live in...

Here I dont think youd even need a trap its not uncommon seeing them out and about near water. Honestly most private land owners/hunters you talk to hunt in whatever manner they deem appropriate for themselves.

beavers are considered a nuisance in this state can be disposed of in way by the land owner....but trapping is the best way....charlie

Nice looking roll crimp Milton. Hey u need to come north to Hausmann's in the spring for a 8 gauge get together and a mad jack competition. Or meet at the Southern for a 8 gauge group shoot.

Ive been meaning to go to one of the shoots but normally during the spring im treating peanut seed then in the fall is harvest season so I have to work around that schedule. Thanks I was nervous using the BPI crimper the first time because of the experiences I have read other people have had with the 1 pin roll crimper. I think maybe starting slow helps I want to say perhaps it was on the 16ga forum where I read it, they mentioned it works alot better at 60-120rpms.

So far im liking how these 8 gauge shells turn out the 10 gauge on the other hand is a headache may just use the old glue in overshot card method on those instead.
