*** 2010 Missouri Tradtional Deer Hunt thread

[Mudd]

It's about 10 minutes until the 15th of Sept and just a few hours away from shooting time.

I knew I wouldn't have time to start this in the morning because I'll be trying to get out the door and in the woods.

I hope all of those that get to start tomorrow will check in and give us a report on the days happenings.

Thanks in advance!

God bless,Mudd

I can't make it out today but i'll be thinking of you guy's Good luck and be safe

[Don Stokes]

I'll be going up next week for a couple of days, hopefully. Since I'm nonresident, I'm saving the majority of my MO hunting time for the week before gun season opens, when the rut peaks.

I would move to MO if my wife would allow it.

[Mudd]

I had to come in early this morning.

I have a P.T. appointment for my back.

It was a great morning! I got these pictures.

This year I've decided to try to keep a photo log of the season. We'll just have to see how that works out..lol I have a hard time remembering the essentials much less a camera..lol

The pictures start in the house just before I walk out the door.

Dressed to kill!

 

These two are at the end of my hunt.

I made it out this morning. Day off work. Sat a old ladder stand I have not used in 2 yrs. All grown up around it. Perfect. Sat for about 4hrs and saw 2mature does and 2 young ones. This is encouraging because about 4yrs ago we had a outbreak of blue tongue that hurt pretty bad. Herd is just starting to make a comeback. So it is all trad and be real selective. Old does or mature bucks only. White oak acorns are starting to drop in our area as well. Good hunting and be safe.   Jim Pyles

I went out Wednesday morning and evening and sat in my favorite spot.  I didn't see anything but a few squirrels and plenty of bugs.  It still beats a day at work hands down.  Had to come back home to work Friday but you can be sure I'll be back in my blind Saturday.

Good luck and good hunting guys-TRW

JPE no problem we all have days like that some times and sometimes it is good to vent. As my dad would say water off a ducks back. Good Luck and hope you have a better day tomorrow. God Bless, Ty.

I made it to my stand at the perfect time about 5:50 this morning.. How I love to watch the sun come up.  A few squirrels and a lone turkey too far out in the brush.. A great morning...!

[JPE]

Went out this morning and sat my stand. Saw squirrels but no deer. On my way back in sotted a doe at the same time she spotted me. I saw which way she was sneaking off so tried to intercept her and her twin fawns. Long story short I made a mistake before they did. Deer 7 Jim 0

[Tyler2045]

You will catch one Jim stay with them. Good luck this weekend guys, Go get them. God Bless. TY

sat my stand for two evenings and nothing but sqirrels and one possum, maybe tonight, seeya, gluk

it was very foggy this morning in the river bottoms with visibility about 100 yards. had 4 deer about 75 yards away in a waist high weed field and could just make out their silhouettes. their heads were down feeding. one lifted it's head and was sporting a nice rack. they fed to about 60 yards away and i got a better view of the buck. he's a 130" and a real symetrical 4X4. they drifted away in the fog but it made my week. i haven't seen a good buck this early while hunting in a while.
