I didn't know if you all saw it, but in the February Conservationist, MDC noted that the atlatl has been added as an approved method of taking non-game fish. I have attached the text below.
"Hunting and fishing methods
The atlatl, an historic hunting tool, may be used to take nongame fish following the same regulations as when gigging fish and to take small game. An atlatl is a rod or narrow board used to launch a 5-to-8-foot dart. The dart is launched by a throwing motion of the arm. The Missouri Atlatl Association presented the Regulations Committee and Conservation Commission with videos, demonstrations and other data showing how the atlatl works, its accuracy and the skills needed to use this primitive method.
Darts used in hunting may not contain drugs, poison, chemical or explosives."
How long do you think it will be before they extend that to deer hunting?
