Missouri Deer Hunt
November 20, 2015 at 10:39 am
I thought you guys might want to see pictures of Dad's big Missouri buck. He shot this one on Monday, November 16 at about 2:20 PM. He hunted all morning and stayed in through the afternoon. We expect this big 9 point to score better than 150"! Way to go, Joe!

Cody killed this canebrake rattlesnake at the cut in the fence near Chufa on Tuesday, November 17. It was 4' long and had plenty of rattles. I think I'll keep wearing my snake boots until we get a hard freeze!

I bowhunted for the first time this season yesterday (11/7/15). Conditions weren't ideal. It was 70 degrees and 100% humidity. I didn't see any deer, but I loved the view! Looking forward to another great season.

Below are some pictures of bucks we have seen and feedback from Alabama Wildlife Biologist Bill Gray:
Response from Bill Gray:
The 7 point is 4 by my best estimate – could be 3 but I guess 4. I’d give him at least another year – if you get a shot at him it will be worth it.
The 6 looks to be 3 but I don’t think he’s gonna ever really be what you’re looking for. I’d let that be a “management buck”, but if possible put a kid or some novice hunter on him that will appreciate the kill.

Bill,
I wanted to send pictures of 2 bucks to you for your opinion about their maturity. Attached are 2 pics of a big bodied 7 pt we have seen around the feeder trough. These pics are a month old (ignore the date stamp on the game camera - these pics are from September). Thoughts on him? Mature this year or hold off? He looks like he could grow to be a stud if he doesn't get shot.
