"What in the He$$ is age structure?" (said by the majority of MO residents)

I kept 5 for myself last fall…didn’t fill a single permit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's a 12 buck rule with the 10 CWD tags. You have to use those tags like regular tags: hunt whatever season is open weapon wise. You can shoot all 10 during an open rifle season if you want, or shoot them with archery during archery season etc.

Hopefully your area doesn't take it to the 9's. We're shooting mature bucks consistently still and most people in the area don't loose their minds with the extra tags.

I put those tags to good use. They're slapped on older bucks people continue to pass. We've had those tags in my county for several years now.

Can you get scions off that original tree?

Those don't look viable.

These are the bucks that make it to 6+ with ease in my area. He went 127 I think it was. Definitely under 130 I do remember that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Put up a few purple martin houses at my grandma's place this summer. They moved in pretty quick and seem to be doing a number on insects around her house/garden.

Just throwing out real world examples of what's running around now. You decide what the data says to you :) I've wondered if the giant bucks from yesteryear, that haven't had modern bucks to match them, weren't a product of super low deer densities where they had unlimited top quality...

This 3 year old sure was visible. He was popped later during rifle season on a neighboring property. I had his left side shed as a 2 year old and he was easy to identify. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

There’s a fair number of older bucks in my area that aren’t 130”. You can bet you a$$ that most people will not shoot them either. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Some great young deer this year. We shall see how many get another time around the sun. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

From what I’ve witnessed, the genetics are still there at 2-3, but with more people holding out for bigger antlers they’re forgetting to factor age into it. A 150” 3 year old is a sitting duck for the rifle season. I’ve tracked multiple bucks that were stellar at 3.5 to see how many make it...

1400 acres....I'd call that the jackpot

I'd have to go back to be certain, but they're around 12-14 I think. They've had acorns for quite a few years now.

Lots of action on my new alfalfa field planted this spring. It’s ~2.5 acres total. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

A few on my farm have a good amount of acorns, while some don’t have any. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Looks like people are ordering today.

This is the mentality a leader needs to have for the free world…. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
