It’s at least 50/50 between NR landowners and people leasing properties. There’s guys in my immediate area from UT, MN, WI and VA that own ground. People from MI and IA lease the farms north and south of me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

One problem I’ve noticed is the amount of does that are NOT being taken with an overemphasis on antler size being the harvest criteria. We took advantage of this during the doe season that just ended here in MO and took 16 does off 160 acres in a 3 hour shoot. I’m hoping to get another 20...

Here’s the stats from the MDC for MO. The NR’s PILE in those northern counties for good reason. The hunter’s breakfast, that we have for the opening day of rifle, just isn’t the same anymore. There’s both good and bad that’s become of the change in demographics for the hunter in northern MO...

They’d be the folks to tell and do some further research on the tree. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have to wonder if this tree is one of the lost varieties. It’s very old, and it is sitting between the road and creek on the private road/path going up to the 7 falls in Colorado Springs, CO. It’s across from the restrooms that’s about half way up to the falls. If I’m ever back there early...

This tree had some blighted areas this spring/summer. They look to have healed over by this fall.

Going to have a bunch this year. Shoot me a PM if interested. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Population is managed by doe harvest so stands to reason they could. If they wanted fewer deer they would allot more doe tags and fewer buck tags to increase age structure. My state of MO could start with only one buck tag for all seasons....there'd be some hard decisions made on the bucks...

Every farm around me is leased or owned by someone not living in MO....including my farm now that I live in KS. That 6% just isn't spread out evenly across the state, because let's face it, most people aren't driving hours there to simply put meat in the freezer.

Take this buck for instance: Fair degree of certainty it’s him from 2-3, same exact location and angle. What’s his chances of surviving multiple MO rifle seasons with unlimited OTC tags for non-residents in MO? He’d be included in a long list of big 3 year olds that didn’t make it to 4 in my...

MO has more habitat and deer that is the same quality as IA. With the same regulations, it would tower over IA with the volume of deer and habitat in the state. I've witnessed numerous high end 2-3 year old bucks get popped with a rifle in MO over the years. I'm 2 miles from the IA...

It’s along the creek about half way up to the falls from the drop off point. It sits across from the building that’s restrooms. The apples didn’t look ripe yet to me. Could it be one of the lost varieties that homesteaders planted? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not even sure where it came from, but there's a sprig here and there popping up on my farm every single year. I've just been spot spraying with roundup and pulling up plants any time the ground is inundated with water. It'll be a never ending battle; I've owned my farm since 2004 and went...
