RE: MO Hunters
I know what you mean about those diappearing deer. Happens to us all the time right after gun, (rifle), season.
To me it seems all the different seasons are way to close. Muzzle loader is to close to the rifle season and then you have the antlerless season.The antlerless second season use to be in January. The conservation Department is trying to please all the people all the time and everyone knows that's impossible.
Hope ypou have better luck.
