You should be good to go then as long as you talked to an agent. They get a lot of hate from some people but you are right, they are very helpful. My friend that is an agent had me read the book when I got my first thermal because I was under the impression that rule didn't apply to landowners or their authorized representatives. My friend is also how I got my written letter of authorization. With the amount of coyotes in Missouri I'm surprised they don't allow them year round. We can take several out of an area and it seems like the number of them keep going up. Thank you for helping to manage them and hope you get a lot more of them this year. It's addicting.
This is the portion my buddy had me read from the book. Then he gave me the letter.
