That is fantastic, and the deer arent much smaller than Iowa, heck yes!

Rifle season is in the middle of the Rut, that is what hurts a lot of public land in Missouri.

I think he is saying that alot of bucks get killed on public during rifle season because of the rut. That would have a better chance of not getting killed if the season were like most of the other midwest states where the rut hits during archery. Just a guess, sorry if I'm wrong. Thats my read on Missouri public land hunting. I will be there 2nd week in November waiting on one of those rutting bucks on public land.

Heck I figured if you done enough research to lock down a piece of private land in Missouri you atleast know about the license/tags.

My thoughts also.

Depending on what part of Missouri you hunt. North of I70 , bigger deer. Southern Missouri, smaller deer.

Iowa has bigger bucks because they don't kill off all their bucks with a rifle during the rut. They manage for trophies, Missouri manages for opportunity. There will be big deer killed in Missouri every year, but nothing like the age class in Iowa. I've hunted private and public in Missouri, killed deer on both.

I typically make friends first, research later, hence I posted the Q! Thanks for the "i am better than you response" though! Really thoughtful!
