RE: Missouri Firearm season opens this weekend
Congrats on the deer.
My dad and his buddies hunt in your area of the country also. They hunt just outside of Warsaw near Truman Reservoir. They hunt on private land next to the corps of engineers' land. They have had a good hunt this year too. Tagged some nice bucks and some does. Just like you, they love getting together with friends just as much as getting a deer.
My dad and I are headed out to NM in a couple of weeks for a late season elk hunt. The guide says there are a bunch of elk on his land right now and if they get some snow between now and then there will be even more. We can't wait!
