Live in Missouri. Been pretty dang warm up here so far , and super dry. Need a cold snap and some rain. More and more sign showing up every day. Still mostly moving at night. Seeing younger bucks during the day. Typical. Weather is supposed to get marginally better next week. I strictly bow hunt up here. Head home to Louisiana to fill freezer. lol. Hope everyone has a great season.

The original plan was to head up to Missouri the 30th-6th, but we didn’t tag out in Kansas so we are headed back to Kansas instead.

Midwest deer in general are a lot less skittish than down here. Louisiana could really stand to adopt the practices of some Midwestern states management of their deer herd.

It truly is amazing to see multiple mature deer over a week long period. Down here you’re lucky to see one mature deer a season.

Just saw this on FB. Had me chuckling. Wisconsin hunters in MO have been some of the worst people I've ever hunted around. I can't tell if they're being arse holes or if they're just retarded. The only ones I've encountered that are worse have been from Florida.

That’s interesting. I wonder why Wisconsin folks go to MO to deer hunt. In addition to cheese Wisconsin is known for really nice deer.

I think they only get one buck in Wisconsin. Got to keep killing.

They only get one in MO now, too. Guess not much has changed for them if they were only hunting rifle, though.

I was in SFLA the other day. Freaking deer in the front yards of peoples lawns in the historic district, nice rack bucks included. Parts of LA have a really good deer population. Some have a terrible population. If parishes like west fel, avoyelles, PC, concordia, etc. had some sort of rule, the potential for bigger bucks is there.

I’ve seen more deer and turkey driving around in Florida than I ever have in Louisiana.
