MO Hunting Season Thread 2016

[JakeD]

Well fellas, I know it's gonna be warm, but my vacation starts tomorrow and I'm pumped!  13 days, hopefully I can get a crack at the buck I'm after.  I feel that I get more and more excited every year for my annual rut vacation.  It's gonna be a blast.

Good luck Jake!

My buddy was texting pics he took from outside the window of his work of two different bucks just cruising by!

[goingoldskool]

I have some pics of a decent 9 pt coming through my murder hole gap at 0730 and a nice big doe at 0800......  we'll see what happens in the morning!

I also have this buck coming through at 2030



I'll keep you all posted!

The baby pumpkins come out today in MO (youth gun season opens) so if nothing else they should get some deer moving despite the temps
Good luck boys

Had some luck mowing yard for last time I hope, and brushed in a stand in a sycamore that shed all its leaves.
Changed oil on 4whlr,  in other words, trying to get everything done before I take off on vacation to hunt!!    

Tim, congrats on the tender one!

[JakeD]

The wife and I went hunting this morning, but saw nothing. As hot as it was this afternoon we decided to do some work on our basement instead of hunt. We will be after them again in the morning.

[kennym]

My plan too Jake, much better temp tomorrow.

NE this eve, gonna try to see ol fat boy.

There is another older buck with a high rack but not too long tines I'd be happy with too ...    :D

[JakeD]

We are sitting out this afternoon. It's 80+ degrees here right now. We didn't see anything this morning. I'll have the right wind tomorrow morning to go in for the buck I'm after. Good luck tonight fellas.

[TIM B]

Couple more days of heat but stay after them boys.  
S wind here for a couple days - back to the corn field tonight

Well I got my first deer with the recurve this morning. I had a doe and fawn come by around 8:30 and got a shot at the doe at around 18 yards. I pulled my shot way left and thought I missed. When I went down to get my arrow it was coated in blood. I started following the trail and found the doe about 75 yards later. I happened to blow through her neck and cut her jugular. It was a bad shot with good results. Definitely not how I wanted things to happen, but at least it was a clean kill and not in the guts.

[goingoldskool]

Jake,
It looks like you got the trick and treat out of the deal!  Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good.....  Congrats! I'm still trying to get my first of the season... Just too warm in my neck of the woods!

[TIM B]

Awesome job Jake!!!  Congrats on yer first bro!!

I just got set up at the edge of a corn field where I grunted in a buck couple nights ago....I have my doe decoy out at 20 yds so this could get interesting.....
