Missouri’s youth-only quail season is open to hunters ages 6-15. Youths who are not hunter-education certified must hunt in the immediate presence of a properly licensed adult. In those instances, the adult may not hunt quail — only the child may do so. The daily bag limit is eight and the possession limit is 16. Full Story
