I see both sides of this thing. Yes, it does appear the MDC is money hungry.........and they've got more money now than they know what to do with. Their reasons for changing the rule to 80 acres is based on the premise that a land owner with that many acres is probably trying to earn at least a portion of his living from that 80 acres. Therefore, free tags will help to prohibit the damage done to his crops. Their contention is that with the current rule of only 5 acres, this acreage is not used for "living" purposes. Many times you'll see 5-6 free tags given out to family members of a landowner with only 5 acres. Does that seem right? Wouldn't you think that with that many tags he (or they) would simply aniliate (sp?) the deer on that 5 acres? Another consideration is that the MDC gets federal dollars based upon their "sales" of deer tags. They contend that the increased federal dollars will help to improve hunting state wide. They also contend that Missouri has the lowest hunting permit fees of all our surrounding states, both for resident and non-resident. I can see where many gardening and nursery people will be hurt by this new rule because of all the damage the deer do to these areas. I think you can obtain a free "nuisance" tag for these acreages. I just know that deer and turkey hunting in Missouri is better than it has ever been. I give the Missouri Department of Conservation the credit for that.

After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
