Has anyone seen chasing in Missouri? If so around what area do you live? Thanks

I think it is getting ready to hit full swing. We saw quite a few new scrapes over the weekend. I also saw a nice 120+ 8 pointer standing in a field with a group of does less than 50 yards off the road this morning. He didn't even run off when I stopped the truck for a better look. There is only one thing that makes the big boysdo things that foolish!

They are ripe and ready. Bucks chasin does on my trail cam yesterday. They're bout to get stupid. Oh yeah, I hunt in NW Missouri near Stewartsville.

Thats what I like to hear. I hunt Central 20 miles south ofJefferson City and havent seen a lot of action in the field, but a lot of roadkill. That means its time. Cant wait for the rifle opener this weekend, will bow hunt hard before then also.:D Good luck MO

Sorry, forgot about the location. SEMO is heating up!!

Do any of you Northern MO guys have any outfitters/guides you could recommend? The bucks down here just don't grow quite as big as they do up there. I have been wanting to head up to the northern part of the state for a couple of years, but just havent' gotten around to it yet. Looking for something that wouldn't completely bust my budget if you know what I mean!!
