bow98, Im from MO and the deer hunting is really good in november. Are you going to bow hunt or rifle. I think the best chasing takes place the week before rifle season, and also the first week of rifle season is real good. Where is the outfitter located? The northern part of the state has some great hunting with more open ground and high populations, the rest of the state is good also but theres a lot of timber so you cant see as far as you can in farmland. Any way you slice it, you should go, its worth it.
