Missouri Deer Hunting ???

honest question... if you don't hunt for the enjoyment of hunting why would you even consider it? Is a week's vacation and $1000 in travel expenses worth 100 pounds of meat and some antlers that are useless except for hanging on a wall? Probably not. As you said you could go shoot something tomorrow near home.

I've never heard a hunter say, I dont hunt for enjoyment.
What is this? 1865? Got a family to feed? Winter coming?

I don’t hunt just to say I’ve been hunting and watch the sun come up. If I’m in the woods I expect to have a high chance of success. Time is the most expensive thing I own. I don’t like to waste it.
It’s not 1865….it’s 2021. We don’t eat much wild game at all…easier to buy a buy a prime ribeye and give the deer away.

Any deer you see, and you'll see a lot, will be bigger than you can find in Texas. Except for maybe a yearling.
I used to hunt in Central Missouri. It was normal to shoot a 200 lb deer.
The deer in northern Missouri are generally bigger. Great hunting along the river.
Just sit on the edge of the corn field.

Just be there November 4th thru November 11th. You will witness some incredible rut action. Some stuff like you have never seen before.
And I would take November 1st thru November 7th or November 7th thru November 15th..... basically Halloween thru November 20th, but the 7th, 8th, and 9th are pretty amazing. The rut up here is so concentrated and it's is something to experience.

It’s good.
I’ve said too much
I hunt some in-laws farm land along the Missouri River in South Dakota, you’d be hard pressed to ever find any intel on it, but it’s beyond words.
Some places are low key and sparsely populated, so they stay as they are. Not everyone wants their name in the record books and the attention that comes with it. Just remember this might be the “good old days” and you can ruin it, or have a good run.
