Hi Kenny, I assume you are in Linn County, if so just a heads up on new regs for transportation - basically what you just said, bone out the meat and cape the head/clean off skull before leaving containment zone.  Also have to telecheck before leaving the county (I think that's a new one).  New regs on MO DOC site.  My place is in Putnam Co so I keep an eye on this stuff too.  Best of luck on the lease this year!  That last buck is a keeper!

Ryan, Yep everybody should read the regs!!  Its easy to miss things even when I read em!! LOL

Don't think I have had this guy on here yet...

Looks like ya got several sheriffs and one outlaw. 

But in the last pic one of the sheriffs is keeping an eye on him.

That looks like freaky and a deputy.

Yep gotta keep an eye on freaky!!  Hopin to get a pic of the judge!! 

This is a hard life- 3 legs and mange ...

I got a letter from our local meat processor saying they won't do deer this year except boned out meat for sticks , summer sausage , or jerky.

This is because they are so behind , 400 beef behind!! I guess the meat shortage at stores and high price has folks buying steers at a huge rate? I don't buy any beef so no idea...

Sure be glad when this pandemic is over with.

More bucks , one more week and cameras are coming down. The bucks will be rubbing velvet off and most change locations . So I take cams down so their location won't be known ahead of hunting . Seems fair to me...

Sweet!!!

Some real whoppers Kenny.  I will miss the photos but look forward to hunting stories from the lease.

Watched a good one last nite from the gravel, he stood still for a couple minutes at 200 yds and I did'nt have my good camera with me , dang it. Buuuuut when he left I think he went right past a trail cam I have so may have a pic....

Nice looking herd.

Neighbor was mowing pasture by south place and may have seen the judge on the lease . He has seen a lot of big deer and said this one was BIG

Good looking deer Kenny!  Hope you and your  hunters get a crack at 'em!

Good luck,  shoot straight and God bless,
Rodd

Thanks Rodd! Good luck to you too.  It will be here before you know it...
