Title: Missouri opener tomorrow-Are you ready?
Post by: dnovo on September 14, 2013, 02:50:00 PM
Missouri archery season opens in the morning. Are you ready for it? It's been really hot and dry here for about 2 months. Sign is hard to read, can't tell yet how good the acorn crop is this year. I'm thinking the spring might be a good spot in the morning as I know they are coming in to water there. The corner of the corn field looks ok too.
How about you guys?

I am skipping the morning hunt as I have other obligations I want to attend to.

I'll play a late afternoon hunt by ear..see which way the wind blows.

God bless,Mudd

I went out behind the house yesterday morning and passed on the opportunity to shoot a little forky at about 15 yards. I was waiting to get a shot at the doe that was with him but that never happened. I'll probably regret my decision around mid-January but what's done is done.

I still had fun and it felt great to be in the woods again!

I used today as my opener.

It was raining when I got up so I did a mid-morning hunt.

Short video.

The woods were wonderfully quiet and I absorbed their peace.

God bless,Mudd

Got out yesterday afternoon and dang near got carried away by the skeeters. They were little bitty beggars but there were a bazillion of them.

Got to Walmart today for some fuel cartridges for my Thermacell. No more mosquitoes for me or smelly bug dope. I hate that stuff... gives me flash backs.

The closest Walmart to you is Troy.  That can be worse the skeeters most of the time

I thank my lucky stars every time I leave the Troy Walmart parking lot in one piece.
There's some scary folks around there.

Any body have any luck or encounters over the weekend? Man it was a beautiful Sat and Sun Morn down around Cherryville, Mo where I hunt. No sightings but the winter wheat I planted two weeks ago is up and looking good. Kinda spotty in one plot but it's rocky land on a ridge in the timber but it comes up and draws the deer. Both mornings were cool and a little chilly. GREAT mornings for early bow season in MO.

Got a story? Let's hear it. Watched a Goshawk land about 30 yds away and call several times. Pretty neat

These are the little plots I have. The first shot is the one that is coming in a little spotty this year. All photos are from last year. Hope it gets a little thicker.
