Ahhh, the rut is about to blow up here!!

The 3 hunters on my lease are seeing bucks, several little ones and some big.

The older brother, I think 84 years young, rattled in 4 bucks today, and they rattled him also!!  2 quite large ones and 2 smaller. He was excited!!

He had never rattled before, and to bring 4 in in one day is quite a feat!! LOL

No deer were taken, bur the excitement level was high tonight!!

Not only that, but last night, he was picking up his gear, near the old pallet stand when he heard heavy hoofbeats, said he thought it was a horse, then an elk, but it was a biiiggg buck  scentchecking in the cut beanfield.

Its about to pop guys, if you haven't been seeing bucks and are discouraged, get right back out there.

Tomorrow is Magic Wednesday in MO, the Wed. before gun season it usually happens here in N MO (and I'm takin off work!!)            

[Darrell M]

Go get em  Kenny!! Hope you have a lot of Magic. Don't forget your camera. I like seeing all your pics of bucks you been seeing.    

[Terry Green]

Sorry I've not followed up....got issues with Dad still and all sorts of stuff going on.

I had a great night the next night after the 'bizarre' night before...and had a parade of does walk between me and the pond while I was taking pics and clips of Lucky down in the corner.

Count have shot a hand full of em as they came in different groups...

The next night I'd get in that corner IF the wind was right.

As for the last two mornings...they had been rather slow....not sure if it was the moon phase or the heat or combo of both....the deer were just not moving in the 'open range' areas, and Charlie and I didn't want to go into their bedding areas and bust them....so we just tuffed out the AMs.

[Doc Nock]

T,

Sorry to hear about your Dad problems...lived thru those for over 2 years... they can suck the verve outa ya...

Sounds like it was a grand experience for you and Charlie, both!

[AkDan]

I had heard Charlies book proceeds were going to sponsering a middle aged guy to come hunt with him and kenny next year.

Thanks Charlie!   .   Great thread guys!

[NC BowBender]

Take care of your Dad.
The stories, and we can wait.

[Terry Green]

The next afternoon...I got 'in their lap'....moving to the corner where they were feeding on the pin oak acorns.

The wind was PERFECT for the hunt, and the local I needed to get into. Although the spot I needed to hide was littered with very little cover other than my gillie.

Once again, I'd be sitting on my HuntMore Chair....

[rolltidehunter]

Terry u are one bad man in that gillie hat! lol

[Terry Green]

I ended up having a momma and little one IN MY LAP that next evening...I could not believe I had ANOTER momma doe fooled on the ground, and only a few weeds and SIX yards between us.

I had the buck beat again....had him in range, but the shot I wanted I did not get....something along the lines of a horse fly bite insued, and I witnessed a very bizzare retreat of Lucky.

All and all, Charlie and I could have no doubt, if i'd done my job on the buck and Charlie wouldn't have had a bent arrow,...could have easily taken home 6 or 7 deer that weekend and that's no joke....

AND, that would have been off the SMALL property of just 150 acres!!!

Lots of great memories for sure...and Charlie and I will be back next year Lord willing.

[kennym]

Terry, Ol Lucky will be bigger next year, and used up more luck. So hope to see ya next season!!  

[Cory Mattson]

Great report !!!!! - this is an excellent hunt at a bargain price - beautiful I hope it stays archery managed for many years - just a few groups dedicated to what we do can support this property. I suspect these middle dates will be full from here on - I sure hope so. Good luck with it kenny this project is done very well. Charlie and Terry you guys hunt for all the right reasons

Hi Cory,

It will be trad only as long as I am with it! I love the idea of a level playing field for all participants, no 50 yd shots!(except the pesky nephew gunner that I have to let hunt during gun)

I hope the deer are all taking refuge there since rifle opened today!

[coaster500]

Kenny I guess we will see how Lucky's luck stands up to a gun?????

PM me your contact info Kenny, if you don't mind...  got a couple of questions...

[kennym]

As long as Ol Lucky stays put on the lease, he won't have to worry! If only the girls don't lead him astray!  :D  

PM sent

[David Flanrey]

The truck is loaded and the Arkansas boys will be headed north about 3:00 in the a.m.  Can't wait!  Those Missouri deer are in for a chase.
 

[flyfish1]

Hi Kenny,
         Did you ever run into the young buck you had on trail cam that was huge for his age or know if he was taken anywhere nearby?

[Charlie Lamb]

David... good luck and have fun. Wish I was going back

Man, you guys are making me sick, I SO wanted to get down to MO this year, but due to my fumbling around in Iowa I didn't have enough time left.  I like Missouri...I went so far as to buy a farm out there this fall(that I don't even have time to hunt this year!  :(  ).  Will have plenty of time to scout it out, though, for next year.

I WILL get down and visit next year Kenny...I know I've been saying that the last couple years...but it WILL happen next fall.  I'll see you some day the first week or two of November next year.  Watch out for the Toyota with Indiana plates!
