Thanks for the link. I live in Clinton county - 417 deer taken according to the article. I had plenty of opportunities for a doe but wanted a buck. I'll try again during muzzle loader season.

I got the opurtunity to take both of my nieces with me this past rifle season here in MO. As a bonus both got to watch their uncle mutt take a doe. They enjoyed hanging out with an adult, and I enjoyed passing on our family traditions to them. If you havent taken a kid out with you, you don't know what a fun time your missing.

Thanks for the post. I didn't get out this season and wasn't aware of the kill numbers. I figured it would be lower. Not going to be good for us drivers. Of course the auto body repair shops will get more business.
