Looks like our place in SW MO

Throw N Mow

Try to get some does as early as possible in bow season...Then back out and let farm settle back down for late october / first of november. Unless, of course, a mature buck comes by. Only hunt fields early season, and wait till chasing starts to move into woods / bedding areas.

I think mature bucks also know when we call (grunt or rattle) and it "just doesn't make sense" to them for one reason or another. Don't get me wrong, I've grunted and rattled and it has worked...but, i've also seen mature bucks and have done the same and they immediately know for some reason...

My first thoughts when i read / heard the study..."Did they have a control outside of these licks?" Also, did they test any of the soil in scrape locations? Licking branches? Food Plots? What's the prevalence rate in that area? Is it steady? Growing? Diminishing? So many other factors...

I guess I didn't realize how many people believe they can kill a 200" deer if they owned a chunk in Iowa, or killed a 170" if they just hunted a week there. I've got my PP's saved, and I've driven through some incredible area's of southern Iowa where the hunting is top notch. However, my...

As of February of this year, George Moore scored 31 200" bucks from Oklahoma from the 2017 season. I'm not sure what his latest up to date numbers are. I would bet those folks don't enter them into the B&C to keep word down about the quality of bucks OK has killed the past 10 years.

I think you are on the right path. Getting in as close as you can without being detected, and light calling 30-45 minutes before dark. MUST have good wind. Probably want to stick to these areas between Oct 28th-Mid November so you don't bust them out too early in the season.

I own other Browning camera's, and I like them. Not sure on this one... https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1020451469/browning-range-ops-xv-infrared-game-camera-10-megapixel-camo

As Sligh mentioned, mud banks from my understand and talking with biologist seem to be a big deal when it comes to EHD. Disease central from my understanding.

Same thing we are dealing with here in SOMO. They say rain is coming...we need it bad. Nothing like planting beans and only getting 1 rain since....

DWGH, Knowing you are in NCMO, is there a reason you are fencing in the beans? I guess I'm asking since you are in an ag area where deer also have other options this summer. I'm in SWMO, and on Friday we plan on putting in 8.5 acres of forage beans. Wasn't planning on fencing these in...

I really enjoy it when shows detail the aspects of different farms. For instance, setting up a 40 acre piece is different than setting up a 150 acre piece. Setting up and hunting a farm with tough access is difficult, but there are some things that can be done. Each and every farm is unique...

I'm from Missouri as well, and you would not believe the pushback you will get if you ever mention moving rifle season out of the heart of the rut. Common answer..."They'll just get shot 4 weeks later" or "they'll be easier to kill...just need a food plot".

I know I know, we haven't even started our 2018 deer seasons (except for all the great habitat work!). However, I am already looking forward to 2019. Reason being, is I now have 4 preference points for Iowa! Yes, I am an OOS'er a few hours south of the Iowa border. Over the past few years, I...

Where and how you choose to create your bedding locations. Where and how you choose to locate stands around bedding locations.

As mentioned the redneck softsides...Otherwise, I really think the rednecks are the best bang for the buck in the long run.

On forage beans, when have you been able (or even if you have been able!) to overseed you winter green mix? I am planning on planting June 8th right now. I know it's a bit later, but just trying to get it all done. Going to drill 8.5 acres of forage beans. Will be leaving beans standing all...

Minerals during season offer nothing in terms of attracting bucks. You should be able to sit in one in my opinion. As far as the concern w/ CWD....What about all the other contact deer having with each other w/ licking branches, scrapes, food plots, etc. I know this is a concentrated area...
