Had a group of 5 in bow hunting from right here in Missouri from November 6th thru the 8th.  The weather was gorgeous, but not real favorable for Missouri bow hunting in November.  We had high temps in the mid to upper 70’s!  We were not real happy with the heat, but had high hopes for the weekend. 

Every one of our hunters reported seeing a shooter buck.   Some layed eyes on several.  We had reports of 120 class, 130 class, 140 class, 150 class, and a report on a true giant of at least 160.  Lots of action, lots of bucks chasing does.  No one was able to arrow a buck.  They were able to get a couple does.  They all said if they had rifles that weekend they would have for sure have gotten a nice buck. 

We’d like to thank Adam, Jeff, Steve, Jason, and especially Jonathan, for coming up and spending a few days bow hunting with us.  We donated some hunts to a cancer benifit that Jonathan was the winning bidder on.  We were happy to help and we know that they appreciated what Jonathan did for them as well.

They stayed hard at it all 3 days even though the weather was so warm to hunt in.  Thanks again fellas.

I spent some time in one of our tripods yesterday evening overlooking two bean fields.  I was absolutely covered up with deer from about 4:00 until dark.  Seen a total of 23 deer and at one point I had 9 deer in front of me at one time.  Five of which were bucks!!!  A small spike, two fork horns, a two year old 7 pointer, and a 120-130 inch 9 pointer with an extra G-2 that was probalby 2 to 2 and 1/2 years old.  Got to see the 9 spar a little bit with both of the fork horns.   Was an exciting night on stand.  Still had deer all around me when I got down after dark.   It was a very entertaining evening on stand.

On the evening of October 26th a very nice, wide 9 pointer was seen in a bean field.   It’s the same wide 9 in our trail cam section of our gallery page.  Nate was able to get a very short video of him.

On the evening of October 24th, a massive 12 point buck was spotted.  Both of his brow tines are split.  He was within 65 yards of our stand, and feeding across the middle of a bean field without a care in the world.   He has mass, length, width, character, you name it, he’s got it.
