In N.E. MO it's a little cooler.....I've seen the smaller bucks chasing a few does for the last week and half.....two weeks. I stayed up at the farm for 9 days and came home to KC last Sunday......while I was up there, we had frost for a couple of mornings and the deer were really starting to move. Going back Friday, but it's a little warmer so we shall see.
Last Friday night, had a nice shooter - 12 pt.- come all the way across a big corn field chasing a doe. Came right to the back where I was.....doe made the turn under my stand and went out about 60 yards. He stopped at 12.....I just needed one more darn step to his right and he was mine.......he put his nose down and bolted after the doe....so much for that. Got my doe last Saturday and will be looking for some big boys this week end.
Good luck to all and safe hunting.
