RE: despite record deer population in missouri...
We had great season on SW MO in Barton county where we were at. My 14 year old son got an 11 pointer and I got a nice 8 pointer all by 8:30a.m opening morning. Then my son shot a doe that evening and I shot a doe Sunday morning. Our group of 5 got 3 bucks and 3 does and missed 2 other does. Since opening weekend havn't been seeing any deer though.
