Mine is the 15th too, but I probably won't be shooting the first buck I see b/c I'm hunting land I'm not too familiar w/. And I plan on going up North for pre-rut/rut, so unless something decent walks by I will be a little hesitant. We have an antler restriction too, so most deer will be at least average. Southern MO is not big buck territory in comparison to where I live and up toward Iowa b/c of all the row crop up there.
I do have a couple great stand locations that I am excited about.
I keep thinking about season/fall to get under way (barring the 90 degree heat)...new bow, new lease, new pop up, and hopefully a mgmt hunt 10 minutes from my house that is an awesome spot for quaility bucks.
Team Silent Stalker should be in good shape.
We need those mid-west big bucks on the board
