RE: despite record deer population in missouri...
I believe the deer to be moving nocturnally during most of the gun season. The best week for me was the week of the youth hunt Nov 6&7 Lots of bucks chasing does.Got a nice heavy 8 with the bow. Once again the Missouri rut was before the rifle season. I am looking forward to the last weekend of muzzleloader season as the second rut should be in full swing.
