It has been one screwed up year here in Missouri to say the least...one guy I know found some rubs and scrapes made 2 weeks ago,some deer have dropped their antlers while others still have theirs intact!You can always do a little scouting and checking for any area's where the deer are crossing or heavy trails in the snow while your looking for sheds!The weather has been crazy with warm weather a few days,then freezing rain,sleet and snow and even lightening and thunder while it is sleeting?I think the Rut was very late this past Nov. Deer Season and the 2nd Rut was even later than december,possibly into jan.?
