RE: Missouri Rut Activity
I'm in Southern MO, and bucks are already trolling. I suspect rut activity will be declining by the 15th, but still good. Me, I'm bowhunting every available minute until then based on the activity I've been seeing.

modern gun opens the 8th and the way the bucks are acting in north central arkansas i'm guessing it will be great hunting the first and second week... we had our first frost on the ground this morning

Any indication if the Rut will be in full swing for the first week of rifle (Nov 15)?

I saw a little year and half chasing a doe in Stoddard county this past weekend, and then he grunted back to my grunts a couple times. Should get crazy opening weekend...

Saw a small ten chasing momma and her does other than that I've seen nothing else. I think it was a little too warm for them here in NW Mo. I'll be out this Friday through Weds for sure.

I finally found a couple rubs today. One is on a cedar which is about 14" wide. I saw a small forked horn yesterday, and had him at full draw at 15 yards, but he never gave me a shot. He was small, but I hunt public land, so you shoot what you see.
