My farm is in west central MO. My bucks started cruising around Oct 28th. Mature bucks started chasing Nov 6th.

Hey Fish! I'll add my two cents here. This is my third year owing my farm. I was told that it was hunted hard, poached more and overrun with hunters from March-May and Sept-Jan. I made up my mind that I was only going to allow bow hunting and limit the days we hunt for 4 years. I wanted to establish a good heard of various age bucks and really get a feel for how they use the farm. Last Thursday/Friday, we had three great sits, 3 great encounters with my top three bucks. The closest any of them got was 65 yards. The other two were about 95 yards. My point is this. I'm content with not killing one of my older bucks with a bow if the farm continues to improve each year. Once I feel confident I've laid a good foundation for the future, I'll allow some ML hunting.Thanks Todd. The silver lining here is that the property is better than it used to be.

Rut in full swing in SW Misouri my boys each killed bucks last weekend coming off the same scrape and my uncle got one that was with a doe all in Taney county . Got some cool pics on my trail cam in Stone county of a buck breeding a doe. It's posted on the trail cam thread under scrape action .
Super Moon is causing a lot of mid day movement right now...

Finally back in a stand. 14 1/2 hours straight driving to get home yesterday, grab some sleep pack up and head to the farm. The downfall to cams is I just grabbed the card from the cam near where I chose to hunt this afternoon and it only had 39 pics in the last two weeks. Guess all it takes is one to come by today tho!!

And a lot of the times the deer don't get in front of the camera. Everywhere I sit on our place has a trail camera near it either on food, a trail or a scrape and when sitting I am amazed at what does not get caught on camera!
40 mph wind and 80 here right now but that is supposed to change starting tomorrow for the coldest weather of the season which is just 50's for the day and upper 20's to low 30's at night...for a couple of days and then back into the 40 something night and 60 something daytime temps again...
Got high hopes for Saturday if don't get screwed up by neighbors...
