It was or seemed to be going on hot and heavy in N.W. Missouri last Saturday, (11-8-03). My father and I were bowhunting and videoing all day, seeing 11 different deer with 9 of them being bucks, all slightly larger than basket racks with the exception of one forkhorn. The majority of the bucks were seen between the hours of 10 a.m. and 3 p.m., and all had their noses to the ground. I have been out everyday except yesterday (11-11-03), and it seemed to have settled down a bit, maybe in part of the warmer weather. But vacation started today thru next Thursday, and I will be out from tomorrow, on. Had to get some " honey-do' s" finished today![:' (]

P.S.----I have about 3 to 5 seconds of video on a 8 mm camera of an exceptionally large buck that took me by suprise last Wednesday, but I have no idea how to convert it to here, or what equipment is needed, so others can see. This is the reason why I have let a few " shooters" go by this year as opposed to last year. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
