Is it legal to hunt Bobcats at night in Missouri in February with a thermal?

The Missouri thermal season is February-March. Bobcat season runs through the end of February. Under the Bobcat section it lists thermal as an allowed method to pursue Coyotes (but it’s under the Bobcat section) But then right below it is says thermals cannot be pocessed to take furbearers.

Any thoughts?
 
Lived there for 3 years and left for that reason (bad hunting laws). You cannot even be in possession of thermal/night vision and a firearm at the same time. Unless something has changed since I left, there was no exception for coyotes. I owned 477 acres that I could not night hunt on. Goodbye MO.
