god we're going off-topic here...
but Doug, do realize that most of MO is second (or third) growth forest already anyway. my parents live in the middle of frickin' nowhere (between Rolla and Jeff City) and it was pretty much all harvested sometime around 1900. still scrubby. they left some big ones, but now most are around 6" dia. at best and the area is riddled with the evidence of old logging roads.
it is sort of depressing though they'll just go in the pulp mill or the chipper if taken at that size.
nice story about the smallmouth.
