This weekend? (Pics Added)
 

Anyone having any luck this weekend?

Things are REALLY pickin up here in MO!

Two of my buddies killed bucks recently, both P&Y deer. One last thursday, one this morning. (Ill add pics when i get them)

Heres pics of the first one that they think will go in the upper 130s. I should have better pictures soon.







I paseed on a really nice 8 pointer yesterday morning that walked RIGHT under the stand and saw quite a few bucks "seeking" does. Seems like the deer are really on their feet recently and its only gettin better! :D

Heres a couple pctures from yesterday morning.

Things are really heating up here in Illinois as well, now that the temps have dipped a bit. This morning I had 3 smaller bucks pass bybefore 7:30. I'm hunting with Dad this weekend so I'm back for lunch and then we'll be back at for the afternoon hunt. Things are gettin' ready to go full bore here in West-Central Illinois.

great job
what part of missouri like what county or town
i hunt in rhineland in montgomery county
all the deer are in the loutre river valleys in the feild for the food in there
the nut crop sucks with the frost in the spring
i saw one shooter this weekend during the youth season but couldnt get a shot
he was about a 12-130 inch 8,9,or 10 point
im only 14
i just want something bigger than what i have
i have a great stand though
you can only see around you about 70 yards and only shoot about 10 in some spots and like 5o in others
i could have bowkilled a lotta does if i wanted to
but i had my 308 :P
im gonna bow hunt there alot though

Oh yeah, it's definetly heating up here in MO. My buddy and I saw 7 different bucks this weekend, 3 of them being mature. One of those in the 150's.....Didnt' get one though, back at it this weekend.

Congrats on the fine deer, once again.

Yeah, it must really be heating up because I was able to nail one on Sunday. He was no brute(compact 8 pt), but as big as I wanted for the mile plus trek back to the vehicle.

According to everything I know about whitetails and moons and mating and chasing: Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday this week - may be some of the best days of the year to be in the treestand.

Mike - Itook a pass ona buck in Ohio yesterday that could have been that 8 point's twin brother. A little less on the G3's, with an inch or two moreon the left G4 - and knock 1.5" off of each main beam. Officially the nicest deer I've ever passed on.

Ended up pouring rain on Saturday morning, so we slept in and got work done on the cabin instead. Headed to the PA HNI lunch and when we got back got into the blind late. We ended up watching a small 6 pointer coming into the food plot to check for does, and we got to watch him scrape and use some licking branches at around 50 yards. Nothing on Sunday morning, I think it's going to take a few daysfor this moon phase to cycle a bit to get good action in the mornings again.

I can't wait, this Saturday is the beginning of my annual 9 day hunt and things should be prime right about then. As of now, the extended forecast looks fantastic as well with lows in the high 20's to low 30's, and highs during the day in the 30's to 40's.

Those are some great bucks Mike. Congrats to your buds. That 8 point is lucky it was you in that tree and not me or he would have been in trouble. ;)

Things are finally starting to heat up here. I saw a little buck chasing a doe on Saturday right under my stand. Later this week should be good.

Its officially past heating up here in northwest missouri. This morning showed 7 deer sightings. with 3 bucks confirmed. and one definite shooter. Walking with his nose to the ground right alond my scent trail i layed down this morning. Oh yea baby better than football on sunday afternoon.
