Where Would You Hunt? (If you had to pick one ;-)

I moved to southwest Missouri a few years ago, so I was starting from scratch on finding private hunting ground. You can drive around, but with gas prices and being unfamiliar with the area, that just didn’t seem extremely practical. So I decided to check out my area from a bird’s eye view. I simply got onto google earth and within no time I had picked 6-7 properties that looked like great deer/turkey habitat.

They’ll all learn someday that bow hunting is not a sport of instant gratification, but when that gratification does come, it’s all the sweeter!

Find a Nut – Find a Deer!

The deer are sort of in that pre-rut funk. They’re sort of in that in-between stage where they’re not chasing, but they’re not in their early season patterns either. This can be a frustrating time of year as you can hunt a stand and see nothing and go back the next evening and see 10, you just never know.
