Pretty good opening weekend for Missouri
« on: November 15, 2016, 09:57:49 AM »
Deer Harvest Exceeds 96,000 In Missouri
Preliminary data from the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) shows that deer hunters in Missouri harvested 96,131 deer during the opening weekend of the November portion of the fall firearms deer season, Nov. 12 and 13. Of the 96,131 deer harvested, 55,753 were antlered bucks, 8,873 were button bucks, and 31,505 were does.
Top harvest counties for opening weekend were Franklin with 2,041 deer checked, Howell with 1,950 and Texas with 1,939.
Locally, 669 deer were harvested in Grundy County. Daviess County saw 942 deer checked and Harrison County had 1,109 deer harvested. Mercer County had 793 deer checked, Linn County came in at 1,064, Livingston County had 650, Sullivan County had 1,109 and Putnam County saw 815 deer harvested.
Last year hunters checked 93,896 deer during the opening weekend of the 2015 November portion of firearms deer season.
The November portion of fall firearms deer season continues through Nov. 22. Archery deer season opens again Nov. 23 through Jan. 15, 2016. The late youth portion of firearms deer season runs Nov. 25-27. The antlerless portion of firearms deer season runs Dec. 2-4. Lastly the alternative methods portion will run Dec. 24- Jan. 3, 2017.
Missouri offers some of the best deer hunting in the country and deer hunting is an important part of many Missourians’ lives and family traditions. Deer hunting is also an important economic driver in Missouri and gives a $1 billion annual boost to the state and local economies.

I'm originally from the Midwest, and I'm friends with a couple brothers who each shot 170"+ whitetails with their bows during rifle opener in Missouri this year. Definitely an under-the-radar hunting destination- these brothers have been shooting dandy's for years down there. They also do well on turkey's
