Missouri Bow season starts tomorrow

[abago]

Any Missouri bow hunters going out tomorrow?
I probably won't be able to sleep from the anticipation!

My guys (hubby and oldest son) had better...they have turned my living room into a sportsman's warehouse, and I want it back!
And knowing them, they probably won't get much sleep either.

Well, I hardly slept last night. More to my wife's tossing and turning than my anticipation to opening day.

Dressed and headed out the door.

I hope they have fun today, I know I will.

I shot a nice Doe this afternoon. Got down from my stand too early and it got up and ran. Tracked it to the neighbors fence who has "no tresspassing" signs posted on every tree. I would have pressed my luck, but he doesn't like me(or anybody, from what i'm told). Oh well, Only day two of the season.

...and it's really nice when your wife drops everything to help you track a deer.

Any luck since?  DH has gotten one so far.  There are signs all over the place on the back part of of our property right now, so he's planning on taking off work tomorrow and hopefully put a couple of those farm tags to use.

No luck yet. I have done very little hunting. I have been sick.
Just got home from a 5 day hospital stay.

Oh man, I'm sorry to hear you've been laid up. But glad to hear that you're well enough for the docs to have kicked you out.  And hopefully you'll soon be at 100%, and then...look out deer! Speaking of which, guess what we had for dinner?

Opening day wasn't so great for me either. I had at least 7 does under the tree, as they were moving through a nice 10 pointer came sneaking in. I drew and shot him, and hit his shoulder.  I tracked him for about 200 yds before the blood was so little i couldn't follow it any further.  Over the next couple days we put on a search for him but of no success.  Thankfully I was able to shoot a 2 year old 8 pointer on Oct 31.  God bless, and get in the woods.
