First of all, i' m new to this site, but not deer hunting, as i have been hunting for almost 20 years now. But what i am new to is bowhunting. I was wondering if anyone out there in hunting land knows approximately when the rut kicks in in missouri? I' ve heard about two weeks before rifle season, but wanted another opinion. Oh by the way, if you didn' t know, two weeks before rifle season would be the beginning of November. Thanks to all
