Sorry to be the bearer of bad news two weeks in a row, but there was another deplorable act of poaching here in our great state. An immature bald eagle was shot and killed in southeast Missouri. The thrill or enjoyment that someone gets out of doing something like this is beyond my understanding. As always, if you come across any information that might lead authorities to catching the person that committed this crime, please contact the Missouri Department of Conservation's Operation Game Thief at 1-800-392-1111.
