Well, some good news and some bad news. Good: I saw 35+ deer along with a couple 140-150's and and couple others over 100 in the field right by my stand. Bad: I didn't have my bow or any gear to try and get a shot. Man I dont know whether to cry or jump for joy right now!

Brandon my brother.. You need a bow if your gonna shoot them. Funny how many you see without a bow or gun in hand. My kind of luck is seeing more deer without a weapon than when I have one.. Next time Bud!!!

Man .... this waiting is driving me crazy , two more weeks and I'll be sitting in my treestand drawing my bow back on a nice eight point basket rack.

so how did you missouri boys end up doing?

Well, the first hunt was a bust. The deer where I was hunting were totally nocturnal. I got on the stand both days almost a full hour before first light, and both mornings, I heard them movingby me up to about 10 minutes before I could see. There were three that walked right under my stand. I was, needless to say, very disappointed. Now I have to wait until 01 October for the AR season to open.

Hi LittleChief and welcome back , sorry to hear your disappointed but you shouldn't be at least you got out and tried.
It's not your fault that those deer wouldn't come and let you shoot them but didn't you have fun while you down there if so then your trip was worth it.
You'll have more time and oppertunity to bag a nice buck and a few does , the important thing is to have fun.

Not much longer to wait now...... Good luck everyone and let's get some points on the board!
