    I am thinking the rut is still a couple weeks away in southern Missouri? I still have mama does with yearlings, and no sign of bucks pushing? I saw 3 does tonight but I am in the exact opposite stand! Story of my season so far! Lol!!

    Thanks for the reassurance....I always second guess myself when it comes to taking time off during this time of year

    Ha, don't we all. I took off the first week of November last year and regretted every minute of it.
    Just a little early IMO

    Up in the stand, moved one here yesterday same spot I arrowed my buck on Wednesday got my same buddy out with me for his 3rd sit ever, put him up in my good stand again really hoping he gets a crack at one we're only about 60 yards apart but have completely different areas in sitting in an overgrown meadow that bumps up to a cut corn field, he's back in the timber just before it gets to pines! Good luck everyone
