MISSOURI INVASIVE SPECIES

​Native and Non Native is the most stupid argument amongst hunters.

Bureaucrats the most invasive species on earth have turned your brains to mush.

Picture

​1. Elk have been gone from Missouri for 150 years because of market hunting and Habitat loss. Had to be brought here in a truck from Kentucky. But are considering native by bureaucrats.

150 years ago Habitat was completely different, guess nothing has changed. ROFLMAO well except the Habitat.

Picture

​2. Wild Hogs and Domestic Hogs roamed the woods 60 years ago when the law changed and turning wild hogs into feral hogs ever since in low numbers until markets crashed and farmers turned them loose.
98% of the 100,000 Wild Hogs in Missouri were born in the wild.

But a bureaucrat tells you they are feral.

Picture

​3.  Armadillos are not native but are protected unless they are doing damage on private land.

Yes illegal kill in public lands, because you are not the landowner, just ask the MDC.

Yes Bureaucrat decided this.

Picture

​4. Nutria Rats are not native to Missouri but have a season, have been here since 1943.

USDA Aphis Consider Invasive species.

Yes Bureaucrat decided needed to be a season to protect other wildlife.

Picture

5. Trout are not native to Missouri waters. The trout you catch were all stocked at one time or another. In the case of the wild rainbow, they began their journey to Missouri in 1880s with a shipment of rainbow trout eggs from California to Missouri's first hatchery in St. Joseph, where the eggs were hatched.
​
Brown trout took a much different route to Missouri. They were first stocked in 1890 from the Neosho Federal Fish Hatchery. Records show the hatchery reared and stocked browns several times over the next 10 years, yet there were no records of browns living and reproducing in Missouri.

Bureaucrats saw big money and decided it was ok, won't hurt the native fish.

6. When otter reintroduction in Missouri first began, native populations were approaching zero individuals.

The first otters to be brought back to Missouri were in 1982, from Louisiana. While Missouri had suffered much wetland degradation over the past century or so, the Ozarks remained sufficiently habitable for otters to potentially make a comeback. Starting there and branching out along Missouri’s over 15,000 miles of waterways, the 2,000 otters released in Missouri,
​
Their impact is not great. In small bodies of water like fishing ponds, and small creeks, however, the damage they cause to property and creek ecosystems is enough to enrage Misouri Citizens when fishers where reduce to almost zero.

Bureaucrats didn't know Otters where a Fish Eating Machine.

That's not even counting the plants and trees. That the same Bureaucrats told us the benefits of these plants at one time or another. 

What a joke all of this is.
