Opening day of Firearm Whitetail season here in MO.... I am just about finished with preparations. I will decide which tree stand or ground blind tomorrow when I am sure of wind direction.. After last year it will be great to get out there and do it right again...
Any of you other MO hunters, be safe and good luck !!! The same for anyone else out and about this weekend

My gear is still packed but I stopped hunting five years ago. Good luck to all you hunters and enjoy the outdoors.
ours doesn't open till December 4th
Got all my gear organized today and will be in KY tomorrow for rifle opening
Ours opened Oct 15 or there abouts. Might get started in a few days myself . Season runs thru Jan 1 .
In Michigan, bow season is October 1st-November 14th, gun season November 15th-30th, and bow season again throughout December. Pretty sure it's legal to hunt with a bow during gun season though, and there's various other times it's legal to use a gun now too, since the government decided to "make it better" or something. One thing that I do kinda like about it though, is that in the December muzzleloading season, which I understand to be all but the first few days of the month, it's legal to use an ordinary rifle in my home county. Probably because of overpopulation or something.

Best of luck, @William81 . Hope you have a great time and bring home some venison

Have fun, and good luck. Will be awaiting your follow up report.
Got this guy about 4 this afternoon....Not the buck of my dreams but a decent days hunt. I was using a grunt call and this fellow came busting out of the woods about 150 feet away and ran right at me. I was hunkered down in a make shift ground blind and had to try not to move. He got about 40 feet away and caught wind of me, snorted and ran up the hill. He gave me a 40 yard shot and was on the ground within 20 yards !! Good time, some good eating coming soon
Well done, congrats.
I need to get me one of those !!!!! 🙃
Nice Bill. Congratulations. Wow, you and Joe's granddaughter had a lot of success today. You both scored some nice deer.
Nice one !!
And your rifle is protecting you from that ‘Gator’ that’s ready to ‘pounce’ ,,,,,,,, 🤣
We didn't see any 'shooter' bucks and the amount of shots heard were well below the norm for opening day. Clear sky and moonlight makes for poor daytime deer travel.
Good for you Frank! Now the rest of the season is gravy.
Very nice buck there! Congrat's!
One shot, one deer, that’s the way to do it. Congratulations.
Maybe not the buck of your dreams, but it looks like a dandy to me! On some hunts I've turned down a couple like that hoping for a bigger one. Naturally they turned out to be the biggest that I saw during the hunt and had to settle for smaller last minute critters. Now that I am older, wiser, and admittedly lazier, I wouldn't hesitate if one like that came along. Congrats on a successful hunt! Bob
Exactly!! We hunt- meat first. IF we get one with a great rack- bonus, but not going to pass up meat for something we may not even see.

Well done sir
congrats it may
not be the biggest but you can be eating while some one else is still looking for the "big one "LOL
well done sir !
Nice!
No luck here yet.
Last night I called the Sheriff on some road hunters in here. After cussing them out as they drove right next to my blind around 4pm - prime hunting hour. The kid in the passenger seat kept saying he had a hunting lease in here given to him by Charles ____.
My neighbor is Deputy and had a word with them.
I called Charles and he confirmed he has no land in here leased for hunting.
Congrats!
My firearm season starts this Friday.
