MO hunters, please help

[Mike_H]

After nearly 12 years, I may be moving back to my hometown of Festus, MO.  In case of that event, I have been trying to find the MO hunting regulations concerning archery gear.  I have seen that there is no minimum draw weight and no regulation on broad heads.  Just to clarify, could I use a 30# bow with bird points for deer hunting?  Again, I just want to make sure I am reading it right.

I hope you get to come back home.  I too returned about 2 years ago after moving around the country.  I'm hoping that I am here to stay now.  I have read the regulations many times and they clearly say there are no restrictions on bow weight.  I'm not sure I would feel comfortable using a 30lb bow though.  You are the best to know your efficiency and limitations.

I have not seen anything addressing broad heads.  I have been told there are no restrictions on broad heads but I have never seen it in writing.  I hope to be able to Knapp usable broad heads and hunt with them soon, but I will check with the local Conservation Agent first to make sure. 

Good luck and happy hunting.

I havent checked lately but it was 3/4" on broadhead width. Mo. is very liberal on hunting... If it dont say you cant.. you can... Thats what my local Conservation Agent has told me often... Brian

The example as just to make sure I was reading it right.  It really looks like they took all the restrictions off the books.  I'm not comfortable with using a 30 lb bow personally but small bird points make it easier to use stone for hunting,  Thanks guys.  Less than three weeks and I'm back home.

Yeah from what I've been told there's no restrictions on bh width.

Welcome back to Missouri!  I grew up about 60 miles south of Festus.  I live up toward Kansas City now but still come home when I can. Bow season starts September 15th!  Good luck this year.
