I've read thats the rut is supposed to come a little early this year because of the moon phase and what not...not sure how much of that i believe, but i know i will be hittin it hard here in MO from Oct. 25-November 21st.

Durring these dates i can harvest two "bonus" bucks. I got drawn for a managed hunt from Oct. 25 - November 6 so i will be hunting my tail off those days trying to get my freebe buck. Then November 11-21 is rifle season here in MO. Another 10 days for me to scorea "bonus" buck with my bow. This could be a very exciting season for me in MO this year with an opportunity to kill 4 bucks!
