I am truly lucky.  On a lark Dad and I put in for the Blue and Gray County Park hunt.  Now we really did not expect to get drawn.  But since Dad is in Kansas right now and going to Illinois next week we figured we would put in for the hunt we would least get drawn for.

As luck would have it we got drawn.  The hunt started on Oct 30th, with youth season and Halloween we did not go up until Monday.  We got there early enough to hang a couple of stands and hunt Monday evening.  It took till Wednesday before we dialed it in to have deer come by within shooting range.  This is one of the hunts that lets you shoot a bonus buck as long as you shoot a doe first.  Deer hit the ground on Wed, Thur, and Friday.  After Friday evening we pulled stakes and headed home.  All in all it was a pretty good 4.5 days of hunting.

Great Job Nevin, and nice buck! Don't you just love it when the woods just seems to come alive with deer activity all at once? I haven't had an experience like that in a long, long time. I'm truly envious!   :D      

Looks like you and your dad had a great hunt Scott, congrats to both of you! Once again......I'm envious!   :D      

I was seeing quite a few deer up north Mo. until this weekend and it was pretty stagnant. Few does, and no bucks at all were seen. I think the deer are in some kind of transition they go through right before the rut because I've seen this happen before. It's almost like somebody just shut the water off and the hunting goes stale for a bit, then when it comes back it's like somebody just threw the light switch on and the woods comes to life with rutting again.
I just hope they get straightened out before this weekend.

Way to go guys!!!  Nice deer.

[SlowBowinMO]

Great job Scott, you truly are a bow and arrow hit man!

I'm having a fantastic year myself!  In fact my best year ever and I got a late start.  Yesterday morning I took this buck at 3 yards.  It all happened so fast I didn't have time to get nervous.

 

I used a 51# Firefly FX take down longbow, CE Predator II carbon shaft and a Tusker broadhead.

Going on a doe hunt this weekend with my brother up north Missouri. I really wasn't planning on it, but he talked me into it. I could use a small doe for steaks, but I had planned on doing some bow hunting later when the weather clears up.
It's gonna be squishy out there, I'm taking my rubbers. Boots that is.   :D  
I wonder if they make blaze orange PFD's??   :rolleyes:

Kinda intested in what you guys saw for a rut this year?  Lots of little bucks chasing does but never saw a big buck with a doe or a big buck cruising.  I was hunting an area with some really nice bucks as well. Probably just bad luck but I'm certainly not the only one I know who saw the same thing this year.  Interested in what the rest of you guys encountered.

I killed a mature buck with rifle on the first Sunday that was locked down with a doe.  Saw smaller bucks chasing opening day!!!

I did hunt with the Atlatl on the 2nd weekend, but nothing came close enough to scare with it lol!!!
