Good call buying in MO over MN. I have good luck with Double Tree's rotation in North MO.

I use Reconyx BuckView Advanced software and really like it. I think you can dowload it free on their website. I'm not sure if it works with all brands of cams but it works with Brownings, Exodus and of course the obvious. You can create watch lists and tag photos for easy reference. In...

If they think WI is bad try hunting in MN!

As much as you complain about your situation now I can't imagine if you were unhappy. You'd bring down the whole internet!!

The part I bolded is correct for the topic farm. The good news is the genetics are there and after some reflection I think average is higher on this farm than the 130's I initially posted. My other farm is better but only because there are fewer guns on surrounding property and one...

Interesting, you both feel an "average" buck scores quite a bit higher at maturity than I figured. That is encouraging, I hope you are right. I need to ponder how to get them to buy in. Regarding killing mature bucks to make room I feel you. We've had an inordinate number of up and coming...

One thing that has really come to light the last few years is how many bucks don’t have the genetics to grow large antlers. I heard a deer biologist on a recent podcast state that 60-70% of the bucks are average antler wise. That leaves maybe 2 or 3 out of 10 that have the goods since some...

On one farm we try to shoot the ones that bed on the neighbors. With limited bedding on this particular farm we like to leave the locals alone. Personally in high population areas I think having an agressive matriarch doe isn't a bad thing as she can keep other doe groups from setting up shop.

I'm in Northern MO within 7 miles of the Iowa border. Recently, 2017-2019, the best November movement of older deer has been the 1st through the 5th or 6th. It has also been below normal temps during that time frame each of those three years. Prior to 2017 I've felt the better movement...

I concur for my specific area. Older bucks on the move the past few days after being much more difficult to get eyes on. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

What is the latest guys? I'm heading to extreme North MO for Saturday's gun opener. My brother has been bowhunting and it's been mostly slow......and frigid.

A bullet proof vest! And you might need your gun safety registration card depending on your age. Good luck!

Once the does start hiding from the bucks I think timber hunts in the afternoon can be real good. Bucks will still check fields and plots but if they don't see anything they are back on the move. Twice in the last 2 years I've been sitting on plots while my target buck is on cam 150 yds away...

I'm surprised to hear Iowa has been on the slower side. Seems exreme Northern MO gets going 3-4 days before Southern IA. We've been seeing older bucks daily since we started hunting on 11\1 either out of stand or on cams. Older being 4 or older. Even saw a 6 year old geezer on Friday but he...

True, but the hottest days shift around a bit in my opinion. 2017 was really good on my farms late October through Nov 5 then slowed down noticeably. Most years November 5-10 are better. 2013 was on fire Nov 10-15 but slower up until then. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

I've seen the bucks you shoot...you don't need no deercast, LOL. Tonight and tomorrow evening have changed to good. Tuesday through Saturday are great both am and pm. They are also Red Moon days. We can't ask for better conditions!! Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

Extreme Northern MO: 10/27 good, 10/28 great for both am and pm hunts Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

I killed a doe with a 1.5". Dropped her quick, blood trail was just ok. Too early to judge but I'm hoping for better blood trails.

I agree with the others, they are awesome. There are some good rigs out there for less than the ones marketed to hunters if you look around. It's costly to sponsor all the pro hunters, LOL.

I been following it pretty close and as of yesterday have officially determined that it isn't very accurate. Some days it's been good but based on the weather it was a no brainer. Many other days it's been flat wrong. One day in particular this year, Sept 28th, it showed GREAT right on...
