It has been the toughest year I can remember and the heat did not help either here in MO. This map pretty much sums up what is going on and I do agree with it.

Our MZ season starts Dec 17-27. Did not see anything during gun season Nov 12-22 and nothing during anterless Nov 23-Dec 4(will not hunt last weekend). I hope mid Dec we get snow and they should be rutting hard. Got a buck and doe tag and a few extra doe tags as we are unlimited on doe tags here. Should be fun and taking a newbie as well.
