Hey MISSOURI hunters.....

[GCook]

Good job Tim. 
Looks like we are canceling our annual trip due to Covid concerns.  Hate to take something up from here to there or visa versa.  Most of the folks we are around there are 65yo and up.  Many 70 plus.  Hate to miss it but they are having a run of it in their area right now.
So we'll have to live vicariously through y'all.

I can understand that GCook.....
Saw first signs of the actual rut last night - chasing and running circles in hay field 30 min before dark.

Wellll....

Bro had a close encounter with a buck with a drop beam  yesterday .  He wanted me to sit that stand this morn but I talked him into going back for round 2 .  I was across the creek bout a quarter mile west.

Had some does and a small buck just after daylight, but none closer than 40 yds.

About 7:50 I glance over left shoulder and holy crap , its the drop beam buck , about the last 9" of his right beam is straight down. Very cool buck!! 

He comes off the beanfield into the brush I'm in right where the does exited earlier.  Turns my way and marches right toward me.

At 15 yards he is quartering to me too much but will soon be in my good 90* broadside lane.

He goes behind the cover tree and I draw my bow, but he turns left and never comes out. 

Goes out in field on other side and I can't interest him with a grunt or two, he just  looks and goes on.

Oh well, it was great while it lasted!!
