We will ocassionally feature other significant whitetail deer from other areas in North America. But special emphasis will be on the Missouri whitetail deer. You will also find other items of interest throughout that we hope you will find useful, fun and entertaining.JMchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06742212150852966572noreply@blogger.comBlogger2111100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37199055.post-35142723170116279272011-04-01T18:41:00.005-05:002011-04-01T18:51:34.923-05:00<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tSv5Qrnir_0/TZZjAt15efI/AAAAAAAAAqY/I821Bx1onBw/s1600/DSCI3238.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px;

If you have a deer that you feel will qualify, you should locate an Official BTR Scorer near you as soon as possible to schedule your scoring session.

I've got a lot of posts coming in the not too distant future of some very nice whitetail deer. Be patient and I'll get there here as soon as I can. Hope everyone had a great deer season this year. Me? I'm still deerless but that's okay, I still had a great time in the outdoors even though I didn't hunt as much as I would've liked. <br /><br />JMc.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/37199055-2006547622889379089?l=whitetailtrophiesofmissouri.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>JMchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06742212150852966572noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37199055.post-77661760710467092182009-11-25T14:29:00.002-06:002009-11-25T14:42:26.606-06:00The last day I hunted, I blew a great opportunity on a nice little buck that had one side of a six or eight point rack. I was at myblind at 0500 hrs, which isn't very well concealed. I dozed off and on until day light. I could hear turkeys comingoff the roost on the next hill over. It was a really nice overcast morning. I love cloudy days like this to hunt.<br /><br />Exactly at 0808 hrs, my tailbone and lower back were needing some relief from sitting in one positon for so long. I slowly stood up and stretched a little. The opportunity was a good time to make my bladder gladder so I laid my rifle down and proceeded to relieve myself. <br /><br />Just as I was going REALLY good, I SAW HIM! He was no more than 15 yards straight ahead of me and slightly to the left! Where the h*** did he come from? I'd been looking that direction all morning and I swear he wasn't there a second ago! But there he was, quietly watching me...intently.<br /><br />I hate to multi-task when it comes to hunting. I was desperately trying to cut off in midstream and not get it all over myself, at the same time, not get caught in my zipper for an unscheduled circumcision. With my rifle just barely out of reach, I couldn't get to it without spooking him. He just stood there motionless wondering what in the world I was doing. Just as I shouldered the rifle, there he was...GONE.<br /><br />How dumb of me not to check all around before moving the way I did. I prayed to God early that morning to have a close encounter so I wouldn't have to drag my deer a long distance as I have had to do with all my other deer that I've taken from the same stand. They've always been at the bottom of the steep hill below my stand. Draggin' deer uphill 10 years after heart surgery STILL sucks.<br /><br />Well, God answered that prayer in His own time. I guess He needed a good laugh and decided to pull this practical joke on me. I'm sure He thought it was hilarious to watch me scramble around. I'm somewhat embarrassed how it all turned out but it was still a GREAT hunt even though I didn't harvest a deer.<br /><br />It just goes to show that God does hear your prayers, even when you think he's too busy with other more important issues. Just be READY at any given time, at a moments notice. You'll have an opportunity of a lifetime in a perhaps most unexpected way when God decides to smile on you.<br /><br />The main firearms season is over but the second firearms is around thecorner including the muzzleoader season. I still have a chance to fill anempty tag. <br /><br />Jackie<br /><br />PS. This season, I saw a total of nine deer and a bunch of turkeys on this stand. I missed a big doe at 200 yards. Maybe I should say, I shot just to see how close I could come without hitting her. Yeah, that's it! That's my story and I'm sticking to it.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/37199055-7766176071046709218?l=whitetailtrophiesofmissouri.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>JMchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06742212150852966572noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37199055.post-71751015173162174442009-08-03T21:10:00.002-05:002009-08-03T21:13:16.397-05:00The Buckmasters Expo will be held August 14 through 16 in Montgomery, Alabama at the Montgomery Civic Center.

If you or someone you know has taken a whitetail that'll score 160 or better as a Typical OR 175+ as a Non-typical/Irregular (without factoring in the inside spread), there's a great chance I'd like to feature the deer in RACK magazine. The hunter can write the story, or I'd be happy to do it. The antlers MUST be scored for the BTR, and we'll need a couple of pics. mhandley@buckmasters.com<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/37199055-3933963150119534597?l=whitetailtrophiesofmissouri.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>JMchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06742212150852966572noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37199055.post-32288648700900946712009-07-26T18:11:00.002-05:002009-07-26T18:12:48.198-05:00Join BTR Whitetails on Facebook!

Forty million job openings -Unemployment fixed. 2) They buy NEW American cars. Forty million cars ordered - Auto Industry fixed. 3) They either buy a house/pay off their mortgage - Housing Crisis fixed.<br />Can't get any easier than that!<br /><br />Jim WrightPhoenix USA, Inc.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/37199055-5585022053006003560?l=whitetailtrophiesofmissouri.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>JMchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06742212150852966572noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37199055.post-12015827349762090702009-02-25T13:55:00.005-06:002009-03-25T12:24:29.505-05:00Prestige Communications is hosting a 2009 Outdoor Expo.

Overslept this morning. I forgot to set the alarm. It's 0900. Oh well, I'll hunt tomorrow.<br /><br /><br />DAY TWO, Saturday, November 29, 2008<br /><br />Not feeling so hot today. Spent the day preparing for my hunt on Sunday. Mainly took the day off.<br /><br /><br />DAY THREE, Sunday, November 30, 2008<br /><br />Arrived on stand at 0600 to a cool 32 degrees. Light snow and sleet was falling but nothing sticking to the ground yet. By the time 0830 rolls around, I hadn't seen anything but a couple of squirrels running around. The ground was beginning to take on a nice dusting of snow.<br /><br />I decided to return to the rig to warm up some at 0830 since I was getting a bit wet. I was enjoying the weather activity from inside the SUV now that I was comfortable again. I remained for one hour then returned to my parents home. This would be our Thanksgiving Day as all our family members would be together.<br /><br />When I got there, I didn't feel well and decided to lay down for awhile until everyone arrived. I developed a severed muscle pain in my right thigh. It was then I started having severe chills and showing signs of hypothermia. After about four hours burrowed under warm blankets, the chills went away. I slept until about 1630 and missed seeing the family. All had gone by the time I felt well enough to stir around a bit. The shivering threw my lower back out of whack. I got home just a bit after dark and hit the sack.<br /><br /><br />DAY FOUR, Monday, December 1, 2008<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_o2iX-LMFQxQ/STxT9RtMWfI/AAAAAAAAAbY/EjKZcY3V1tM/s1600-h/PIC-0039.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277185175561460210" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_o2iX-LMFQxQ/STxT9RtMWfI/AAAAAAAAAbY/EjKZcY3V1tM/s200/PIC-0039.jpg" border="0" /></a>My thigh was really hurting this morning when I got up at 0600. The back wasn't any better either. As I went in to the bathroom that I discovered my lower leg was badly swollen and very red. It extended from the foot to just above the knee. I kept an eye on it for a little while. Should I call the doctor or should I go to the emergency room? Had I gone to the doc, he would've probably sent me to the ER anyway. So I opted to save time and go on to the emergency room. Gee, I hate emergency rooms.<br /><br />A mistake on my part, I failed to eat breakfast or drink anything this morning. I arrived at the ER at 1100 and sure enough, they decided to keep me overnight. I lay there in a lot of pain and they wouldn't allow me any water or snack. Went through several different kinds of blood tests and a couple of ultra sound scans. They finally got me to my room about 1730. Thank God!<br /><br />I asked for a room with an ocean view but instead I got a beautiful view of the parking lot from three floors up. The room was located in the newer section of the hospital. Best thing about it, it was a single room! Huge bathroom and a flat screen TV with cable!<br /><br />The nurses told me I made it in time for dinner and my tray would be delivered in 30 minutes. OH BOY! I was starved! And I just quinched my thirst with ice cold water. Supper didn't arrive in 30 minutes. At 2030 I asked what happened to my supper? Then I found out they gave it to another. So at 2130, I got my first meal of the day...a plain turkey sandwich with baked chips. A bit disappointing but by now, I was counting it a blessing to have just THAT! Must keep leg elevated at all times.<br /><br /><br />DAY FIVE, Tuesday, December 2, 2008<br /><br />Still in hospital. I'm drugged up and the mind is fuzzy on events. I recall having some weird nightmares. Also remember having IV's reinstalled on me 5 different times. Veins kept closing down or something like that. One nurse didn't tell me she was about to inject her needle and I let out an "OUCH" that was heard down the hallway. Startled her. Startled ME most! From that point on, she warned me with a "1, 2, 3, HERE IT COMES!". I forgot to tell that particular nurse that I'm allergic to needles, scapels, and bonesaws. I think she took me serious.<br /><br /><br />DAY SIX, Wednesday, December 3, 2008<br /><br />Still dopey but enjoying the hospital food. Love them turkey sandwiches for snacks. Leg elevated and back still bothersome.<br /><br /><br />DAY SEVEN, Thursday, December 4, 2008<br /><br />Still dopey. What day is this? Geee I don't know but those drugs work really good. Getting used to the needle sticks at night. I don't bother to acknowledge them now and try to sleep through.<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_o2iX-LMFQxQ/STxaZ-oIeeI/AAAAAAAAAbg/a13GBmfaMWc/s1600-h/PIC-0042.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277192265725934050" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_o2iX-LMFQxQ/STxaZ-oIeeI/AAAAAAAAAbg/a13GBmfaMWc/s200/PIC-0042.jpg" border="0" /></a>The food has been really decent. The cafeteria's evening shift room service isn't very good. They rarely got an order correct plus they were pretty slow. One thing for sure, what ever they brought, it was GOOD!<br /><br />The folks brought my laptop tonight. I can't believe all the junk email that came in while away. I was able to finally connect to the outside world via the computer. I have a Jeff Dunham DVD to watch now.<br /><br /><br />DAY EIGHT, Friday, December 5, 2008<br /><br />Getting very tired and restless having to keep the leg elevated. Drugs solved that problem. More ultra sounds today.<br /><br /><br />DAY NINE, Saturday, December 6, 2008<br /><br />What turned out to be an overnight stay was slightly extended. The doctors said the cellulitis was very serious and could have resulted in blood clots and blood poisoning which could end up in a more serious situation. Now the swelling has gone down considerably and the redness getting lighter, I am released from the hospital at 1430.<br /><br />I'm off work indefinitely until my primary doctor releases me. Must follow up with him within two weeks. Well, I will call him first thing Monday and speed the release if I can.<br /><br /><br />DAY TEN, Sunday, December 7, 2008<br /><br />What a way to spend the muzzleloader season...in the hospital. Today is the last day and I remain deerless.<br /><br /><br />Thanks for reading my journal. Hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I have writing it.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/37199055-682793348953912788?l=whitetailtrophiesofmissouri.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>JMchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06742212150852966572noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37199055.post-91379813325076618742008-11-14T21:47:00.060-06:002008-12-07T16:44:50.183-06:00<strong>DAY ONE, Saturday, November 15<br /></strong><br />The 2008 Missouri Firearms Deer Season is finally here. I got off work at midnight only to go home and finish packing the SUV. I got about two hours sleep before leaving the house enroute to my "deer hunt'n stand".<br /><br />I arrived at 0500 and parked in my usual spot. I sat for a little while in total darkness trying to give my eyesight time to adjust. I just changed XM channels on the satellite radio from "Willy's Place" to "Old Time Radio Classics". As my luck would have it, the program airing was like "Inner Sanctum" or a similar program. I didn't stay on the channel long enough to find out the name of the program and here's why.<br /><br />At first, the story was interesting. In the background, was the sound of blowing wind, kind of like the blowing wind where I was. Factor in the wind gusts rocking my SUV with leaves falling and weeds brushing the sides of the vehicle, it added a bit of realism to the story. Along with the howling wind there was thunder in the background. The narrator, in a monotone voice, was carefully setting up the story. He paused, with a long silence, as the wind continued to blow and the sound of a squeeking door nearby. I thought to myself, "Oh man, this is gonna to be good". THEN I HEAR a slow but gruffy demonic whisper give the order, "Get out... GET OUUUUT!".<br /><br />YIKES! The hair on the back of my neck stood on end. Chills went down my spine! OH MAN, HECK NO, NOT NOW! I AIN'T GET'N OUT!<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_o2iX-LMFQxQ/SStvk7Pb8aI/AAAAAAAAAaA/N_fn_bNwOso/s1600-h/gorilla.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5272430468935709090" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 170px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_o2iX-LMFQxQ/SStvk7Pb8aI/AAAAAAAAAaA/N_fn_bNwOso/s200/gorilla.jpg" border="0" /></a>I quickly turned the radio off. I wasn't about to leave the safety of my vehicle especially with it so stinking dark outside. I could visualize an erie looking creature peering over the hood of my rig! Last thing I wanted to happen was some tree limb, stick or object accidently hit the back of my leg while quietly sneaking to my stand. Had that happened, I would've screamed like a little girl. That was a radio program I should never have tried to listen to. I'm really not afraid of the dark, not like I was as a kid. A chilling story like that brought back a few interesting memories of late night trips to the outhouse armed with only a weak flashlight or candle. I don't know of any person who has never checked for what was hiding in that deep dark hole before parking it, if you know wut I mean. It's a miracle I didn't hang myself on momma's clothesline while "flat footin' it" back to the house. I was one happy camper when we modernized our facilities at home.<br /><br />The temperature was 36 degrees. It was very windy. The windchill had to have been about 25 or so. The cloud cover was so heavy, the moon light couldn't penetrate the clouds. It was about as dark, as dark can get. The SUV was comfortable and I sort of dreaded getting out into the cold air. I left the safety of my vehicle and quietly walked to my stand and set up all my gear. The wind was blowing pretty hard in all directions. Thankfully there was no thunder or creepy voices but only those in my head trying to convince myself that all was fine and I was in the woods safe and all ALONE...without a flashlight.<br /><br />I heard a few vehicles going up and down the road before daylight. Didn't hear the first gunshot until about 0700. Most of those were off in the distance. Two does came into my view about 150 yards away at 0746. I placed the crosshairs on them and released the safety of my Remington 30.06 rifle. I could see both deer were interested in what was behind them. Well, I was too, so I put the safety back on and waited...and waited...and waited. The big boy didn't come out.<br /><br />About 0930, I finally froze out and made my way back up the steep hill to the SUV to warm up. I drove to Greenfield and met my dad and brother for lunch at the Backwoods Restaurant. They had a dry run as well. After lunch, I returned home for an hour nap and now, I'm back at the office covering for an employee on funeral leave. At midnight, I'll go home for a three hour nap then start the day all over again.<br /><br /><br /><strong>DAY TWO, Sunday, November 16</strong><br /><br />It was 26 degrees this morning when I left the house. No wind and the sky was clear. The moon was straight above and very bright. Again, I tuned in to XM radio's "Old Time Radio Classics". It was an entertaining Jack Benny comedy instead of a spooky program like yesterday.<br /><br />I got to my stand at 0515 and quickly settled in. The stars were bright. It was actually a very tranquil setting, a perfect morning to hunt. The trees cast their distinct shadows on the ground and I was quietly sitting in their shade from the bright moonlight. I could easily see the next hillside. There were two other hunters nearby. The area could use more hunters to get the deer moving but I actually prefer less hunters. Having less hunters doesn't interfer with the deer patterns as much. There weren't as many vehicles running up and down the road either.<br /><br />I saw one doe around 0900. She was about 150 yards away. The shot would not have been a good clean one as she was standing in tall weeds. All I could see was her head and neck and very little of the top half of her body with an ocassional flicker of her tail. She moved out of sight. I stayed on stand until about 0945 then decided to head to the SUV to warm up. I heard several gunshots to the west in the distance. Nothing really close to me.<br /><br />My Dad and brother had a dry run too. At least, I was seeing deer. Not as many as I would like but just enough to keep me encouraged.<br /><br />After lunch at the Backwoods Restaurant in Greenfield, I returned home for an hour nap before going to the office. I've had about 8 hours of sleep over the last three and a half days.<br /><br />One note of interest, today marks my 30th anniversary at MSU. It's a milestone I thought I would never see. WHEW! I'm eligible to retire now, but I'm holding out for my maximum backdrop in about 4 more years. It will be a LONG 4 years.<br /><br /><br /><strong>DAY THREE, Monday, November 17<br /></strong><br />I normally don't miss hunting on the third day of a deer hunt. I've taken several deer on a Monday after opening weekend. But this time, due to lack of sufficent sleep, I decided to sit this one out. Got up around 0840 feeling rested and made a little road trip to Aurora to take care of an errand. Made it back to Springfield just in time for a training session on campus.<br /><br />The day concluded with supper at the Golden Corral and a little more rest before going to the office at midnight again. My office has been understaffed since June and working some of all three shifts has been pretty hard on me. The hiring process on campus is extremely slow and with a lot of hoops to jump through. It'll be nice to get back to normal. Hmmm...what is normal? I'm so far behind.<br /><br />I'll hit the woods tomorrow after work and plan to hunt till dark if necessary. As for my luck lately, it will be necessary. :)<br /><br /><br /><strong>DAY FOUR, Tuesday, November 18</strong><br /><br />Well, today was a non-eventful day to say the least. What shall I say? It was a long night at the office. Fought sleep very hard but managed to survive. Once I left at 0800, I made a second road trip to Aurora to finish some personal business.<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_o2iX-LMFQxQ/SS8DguvAPHI/AAAAAAAAAaI/dXWgNCvWWX4/s1600-h/Backwoods+1.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5273437549510016114" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 107px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_o2iX-LMFQxQ/SS8DguvAPHI/AAAAAAAAAaI/dXWgNCvWWX4/s200/Backwoods+1.JPG" border="0" /></a>While enroute to my hunting area, I stopped at the Backwoods Restaurant in Greenfield for a bite to eat. I enjoyed their chicken basket meal with fries and cole slaw. It's funny, but every time I order that meal, it comes on a plate. I've yet to see the basket. Pretty good stuff even though it was fried. It hit the spot.<br /><br />I arrived at my deer stand about 1115 and stayed until it was too dark to shoot. I remain deerless. I sort of accidently fell asleep for a couple of hours or so. I wonder how many bucks I grunted up with my snoring? I have yet to confess that I snore but will admit that I do "purr" on occasion. I'm not really convinced that I snore but my ex would argue that point to her death. I'm sure a few of my Buckmasters Colleagues would agree with her as well. We sometimes share rooms while working outdoor shows and scoring events together. Anyway, it was cold today but the warm sun on my back made it too irresistible not to take advantage of nap time.<br /><br />I saw one deer cross the road while driving home. She was doing the "boot scoot'n boogie" as she went from one side of the highway to the other. She cleared the ditch and fence as if they weren't there.<br /><br /><br /><strong>DAY FIVE, Wednesday, November 19</strong><br /><strong></strong><br />It may be another long night at the office. Nothing going on campus as I write this segment. No activity in buildings or parking lots on the surveillance cameras. I probably won't be able to hunt any today because once I leave at 0800, I have a training session to attend until noon or so. I might be able to get a couple hours of hunting in but I'll know more at noon today.<br /><br />I attended the morning training session as planned but I had to stop by the office to help with a couple of small projects. Had lunch at Mexican Villa then returned home but too late to make the drive to my deer stand.<br /><br /><strong>DAY SIX, Thursday, November 20</strong><br /><br />Well, I had an ALL DAY training session for Communications Training Officers (CTO) today. I obviously didn't get to hunt again. It was a good session. I won a nice wooden ink pen yesterday and a nice metal drinking mug today, both for being in this industry longer than anyone that attended the classes. I wonder what I'll win tomorrow?<br /><br /><strong>DAY SEVEN, Friday, November 21</strong><br /><br />In training again today. I'll go to work at midnight tonight then hunt Saturday, Sunday and Monday...maybe. This is one of those days it was best to stay home and not be out in the weather. It was a teeth chatter'n 16 degrees! Windchill around zero!<br /><br />I completed my Public Safety Group CTO Training and passed with flying colors! I walked away with some really great ideas to implement in our communications training program for RCO applicants.<br /><br /><strong>DAY EIGHT, Saturday, November 22</strong><br /><br />It was 26 degrees when I left work at 0800. Went home for a couple hours of sleep before going out to the woods. At 1400, when I woke up (hello two hours), I drove out to my stand and stayed until dark. No deer sightings. I stopped by my folks before heading home and had supper with them. Enjoyed a great fish dinner with potatoes.<br /><br /><strong>DAY NINE, Sunday, November 23</strong><br /><br />I slightly overslept this morning. I saw a huge doe standing along side the road this morning. I turned around to see her again but she was gone. I was on stand by 0600 and it was just getting light enough to see to shoot almost. The temperature was 23 degrees. No wind which was really nice. I settled in and was comfortable until about 0930. By the time I came back to the SUV, I was shivering to the bone. I started the vehicle and warmed right up.<br /><br />I drove to Greenfield at 1100 and enjoyed the Sunday buffet at the Backwoods Restaurant. I love their fried chicken. Its always crispy and as good as good can be. This time, they also had BBQ chicken wings! Mmmmmm. I left a happy camper.<br /><br />I returned to my deer stand after a brief nap at Dad's. He was napping too. I usually see a bald eagle or two when I'm hunting here. This year, I haven't seen them. In fact, I've not seen any turkeys. Our last ice storm may have thinned our flocks considerably. One hunter in our area said he saw 10 birds a couple days ago.<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_o2iX-LMFQxQ/SSnSRJGCbGI/AAAAAAAAAZ4/7_gGbooz88c/s1600-h/DSCI1998.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5271976030754729058" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_o2iX-LMFQxQ/SSnSRJGCbGI/AAAAAAAAAZ4/7_gGbooz88c/s200/DSCI1998.JPG" border="0" /></a> I finished my hunt about 1500. I needed to go home and dress the 2nd degree burns on my left wrist again. It's about an inch wide from my watch toward the base of the thumb about 4 inches then a very narrow strip along the thumb to the tip. The blisters finally burst and the exposed skin underneath was screaming with pain. How did this happen? A couple days ago, I was cooking and somehow I branded my stupid self with a hot skillet. It didn't take me long to figure out "sump'n was wong". I immediately run cold water over the burn area.<br /><br /><strong>DAY TEN, Monday, November 24</strong><br /><br />This was the last day of the regular firearms deer season. It was a little more active than the previous nine days. I not only heard hundreds of geese flying overhead, but I saw a coyote and a furry medium sized bobcat. Also, around 0730, I was closely watching my crossing very intently. The sun and clouds were trading off and on as well, when suddenly a doe seemed to magically appear in the scenery. I never saw it walk out into the open. I actually didn't see it until it raised its head from the ground. The moment took me by surprise. As quickly as she appeared, she suddenly diappeared. A second doe but smaller came on across and it too vanished into the woods.<br /><br />I drove to town for lunch and finally observed a bald eagle on the ground at the edge of small pond. It caught something and was covering it with its massive wings. After lunch at the Backwoods again, I returned to the stand only to close the season without filling my two deer tags.<br /><br />My next chance will be in the muzzleloader season which begins the day after Thanksgiving. I'll get to hunt that weekend and I'll be back on the same spot. Of course, I'll keep everyone updated and hopefully I'll have more photos to publish. So stay tuned!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/37199055-9137981332507661874?l=whitetailtrophiesofmissouri.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>JMchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06742212150852966572noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37199055.post-67405897628846085502008-11-14T20:37:00.001-06:002008-11-14T20:37:52.266-06:00Dear Sirs,<br /><br />In view of what seems to be happening internationally<br />with banks at the moment, I was wondering if you could<br />advise me.

Every year, about 250 hunters are selected to hunt this 8,000 acre wilderness. The success rate is pretty low with about a 1 in 10 chance of taking a deer. Not there's a low deer count, but this a very rugged country to hunt with LOTS of deer.<br /><br /><p>Our hunting party this year were consisted of Josh Thomas, Seymour, Missouri; Gary Basnett, Willard, Missouri; myself and my father, Cletis McConnell, Greenfield, Missouri. We arrived a day early to set up camp and some pre-scouting. <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_o2iX-LMFQxQ/SQpffRJtD-I/AAAAAAAAAZI/8SsfRoam8Rc/s1600-h/DSCI1924.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5263124105320533986" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_o2iX-LMFQxQ/SQpffRJtD-I/AAAAAAAAAZI/8SsfRoam8Rc/s200/DSCI1924.JPG" border="0" /></a></p><p>We found some promising signs and had a good feeling that someone would bag a big'un. The first morning I discovered very quickly that I was in no way prepared for the big chill. The weather had been very nice but the cool front moved in and I froze out in less than two hours. I don't know how they did it but Gary and Josh stayed on stand the entire day. They didn't do any good and were a little disappointed.</p><p>Upon returning to camp, we decided to drive into Gainesville to a buffet restaurant and live bluegrass music. It was a good way to end a hard days hunt.</p><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_o2iX-LMFQxQ/SQpjn1xcTAI/AAAAAAAAAZQ/Zvxgg7M60Tc/s1600-h/DSCI1945.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5263128650636348418" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_o2iX-LMFQxQ/SQpjn1xcTAI/AAAAAAAAAZQ/Zvxgg7M60Tc/s200/DSCI1945.JPG" border="0" /></a> Next morning was rather chilly as well. You can bet I was better prepared. The neck gator and gloves did the trick. I had an opportunity to take a small doe but chose to let her walk. I still had my hope for a nice buck. I've seen them before and I know they're still there. You just have to be patient.<br /><br /><p>No real deer stories to tell on this hunt. However, I saw 6 deer and some of the prettiest ozarks hills you will ever see. We had a really great time and looking forward to a return trip.<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_o2iX-LMFQxQ/SQpkDoABReI/AAAAAAAAAZY/ABaOs2DTikk/s1600-h/DSCI1934.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5263129127975732706" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_o2iX-LMFQxQ/SQpkDoABReI/AAAAAAAAAZY/ABaOs2DTikk/s200/DSCI1934.JPG" border="0" /></a></p><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_o2iX-LMFQxQ/SQu-mijeRGI/AAAAAAAAAZw/7XlG6hdZRFI/s1600-h/DSCI1932.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5263510158832452706" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_o2iX-LMFQxQ/SQu-mijeRGI/AAAAAAAAAZw/7XlG6hdZRFI/s200/DSCI1932.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><p></p><br /><p></p><br /><p><br /></p><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_o2iX-LMFQxQ/SQu9dGCROsI/AAAAAAAAAZo/NzeTK3XplcI/s1600-h/DSCI1947.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5263508897046543042" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_o2iX-LMFQxQ/SQu9dGCROsI/AAAAAAAAAZo/NzeTK3XplcI/s200/DSCI1947.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_o2iX-LMFQxQ/SQpkTjIVGoI/AAAAAAAAAZg/kk60yTKLPDI/s1600-h/DSCI1951.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5263129401546316418" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_o2iX-LMFQxQ/SQpkTjIVGoI/AAAAAAAAAZg/kk60yTKLPDI/s200/DSCI1951.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_o2iX-LMFQxQ/SQpkTjIVGoI/AAAAAAAAAZg/kk60yTKLPDI/s1600-h/DSCI1951.JPG"></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/37199055-5628780548504039508?l=whitetailtrophiesofmissouri.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>JMchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06742212150852966572noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37199055.post-43716841288685930192008-08-23T10:29:00.007-05:002008-12-09T21:24:39.411-06:00<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_o2iX-LMFQxQ/ST81imroFNI/AAAAAAAAAcg/dbhelQV0McI/s1600-h/DSCI1705.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277996156916864210" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_o2iX-LMFQxQ/ST81imroFNI/AAAAAAAAAcg/dbhelQV0McI/s200/DSCI1705.JPG" border="0" /></a> Admission price was one can of food per person.

I had the privilege of meeting my new friend, Donna Douglas (aka Elly May Clampett of the Beverly Hillbillies) this past Saturday morning. She took time to visit with everyone, signed a few autographs. Even though she's 74 and moves a bit slower, she's still the same Elly May. </div><div> </div><div>She spoke about her humble beginning in Louisiana and her career achievements prior to landing her most famous role on the Beverly Hillbillies. She gives full credit to God for her blessings as He led her through some very difficult times. </div><div> </div><div>Next to Minnie Pearl, she's really a warm and down to earth person with a sincere heart of gold. Not many can claim they got a hug from Elly May, but I can. Eat your heart out guys!</div><div></div><div>JMc.</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/37199055-206680483514172909?l=whitetailtrophiesofmissouri.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>JMchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06742212150852966572noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37199055.post-50468923037251048672008-04-02T12:23:00.001-05:002008-04-02T12:23:36.526-05:00Did you ever notice: The Roman Numerals for forty (40) are ' XL.'<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/37199055-5046892303725104867?l=whitetailtrophiesofmissouri.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>JMchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06742212150852966572noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37199055.post-8608539660621137892008-03-30T01:26:00.003-05:002008-03-30T01:34:21.299-05:00<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_o2iX-LMFQxQ/R-8y1QAF9fI/AAAAAAAAAP4/9HJGPxNV39Y/s1600-h/Copy+of+DSCI0608.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5183417586536543730" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_o2iX-LMFQxQ/R-8y1QAF9fI/AAAAAAAAAP4/9HJGPxNV39Y/s200/Copy+of+DSCI0608.JPG" border="0" /></a> Dale Boothe Buck - 2006<br /><br />Dade County, Missouri<br />Modern Rifle - Perfect<br /><br />Official BTR 101 4/8<br />Composite 118 6/8<br />IRR 0.0%<br /><br />NOTE: Not eligible for BTR entry.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/37199055-860853966062113789?l=whitetailtrophiesofmissouri.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>JMchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06742212150852966572noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37199055.post-28796300314253785112008-03-29T17:44:00.000-05:002008-03-29T17:45:04.241-05:00HEY!
