My idea of hunting is watching Elmer Fudd try to hunt down the coyote.  I have never been hunting in my life, but I have several friends and family members who enjoy the sport. I had no idea there were some animals you could hunt all year.

When it comes to hunting, I am so uneducated about what, when, and where to hunt animals. In Missouri, some are available year-round (with some exceptions).
