Here's how they do it in MO on WMAs: Managed Waterfowl-Hunting Areas The Conservation Department offers managed waterfowl hunting on 15 conservation areas, which are listed on pages 18 and 19. These intensively managed wetlands provide waterfowl with much-needed resources during migration. Some of these areas have permanent blinds, and others provide opportunities for hunters to wade in or hunt from boat blinds. Most have disabled-accessible blinds. The Department limits the number of hunting parties on these areas to enhance the quality of the hunt and maintain the integrity of the resource. There are four ways to obtain a hunting spot on a managed waterfowl-hunting area: ◾ Missouri residents may apply online for a reservation, which guarantees successful applicants a place to hunt on a specific day at a specific area. Applications are accepted from Sept. 1–18. ◾ Missouri residents may use the Quick Draw system at Eagle Bluffs, Grand Pass and Otter Slough. Quick Draw, an online draw system, was designed to enhance convenience, reduce travel time and expense, and offer hunters more flexibility at selected areas. Quick Draw provides hunters the option of applying twice a week, once for hunts occurring Friday through Monday and once for hunts occurring Tuesday through Thursday. Quick Draw begins accepting applications a week before the opening of waterfowl season. Hunters who apply and are drawn using Quick Draw receive a guaranteed line position for their hunt. To learn more, visit mdc.mo.gov/quickdraw. ◾ Residents and nonresidents can hunt with a reservation holder or a successful Quick Draw applicant. Hunting parties are limited to four people. ◾ Residents and nonresidents can arrive at a managed waterfowl-hunting area and try their luck in the morning drawing or “poor line.” Twenty percent of the positions at Quick Draw areas and 50 percent of the positions at the remaining areas are set aside for on-site morning drawings. The positions of reservation holders and Quick Draw hunters who do not show up are also included in the on-site drawing. New! Hunters wishing to reserve disabled-accessible blinds must complete a Hunting Method Exemption prior to their hunt. For forms and additional information, visit mdc.mo.gov/node/9631.17 How Managed Waterfowl Areas Divvy Up Poor-Line Spots Walk-in hunters trying their luck in the “poor line” will use the “Every Member Draws” (EMD) procedure at seven managed waterfowl-hunting areas (see map on Page 18). At EMD areas, every person in a hunting party draws a numbered block or “pill.” The party uses its lowest number to determine its place in line to pick a hunting spot. On highly used waterfowl areas, the EMD system puts more hunters in the marsh by creating an incentive for hunters to team with family and friends instead of hunting alone. All other conservation areas use the “One Member Draws” (OMD) procedure. At OMD areas, one member from each hunting party pulls a pill to determine the hunting party’s place in line. Areas that use OMD turn fewer hunters away and would not benefit from EMD. After the pills are drawn, the lowest number gets first choice of the available hunting locations, followed by the second-lowest number, and so on until all available hunting spots are doled out. On some days, there may be more poor-line hunters than hunting locations, so it’s possible that not everyone in the poor line will get a spot to hunt. |

And its a pain in the fucking ass. We did it one year, if you draw or know a resident your golden. Nothing but a cluster fuck on the poor line, sky blasting fucktards. I don't hunt MO much anymore, better states with more birds. |

Well Sherburne South Farm is similar. I think it is the only one in the state? |

Why don't you ask some of those Missouri guys how much they like it. They had a good setup before this. We have way more public land here it is just not managed as well but we also don't need to manipulate the environment to get birds here, they do. I can tell you this I'll be up there next year in private fields. |
