Missouri puts out free a small booklet titled Wildlife Code for Missouri, Rules of the Conservation Commission coverning all wildlife laws. They also put out pamphlets for each season: deer, trapping, fishing, etc..CountryCub2 wrote:Im checking with Florida Fish and Widlife to see if saltlick is legal, too. Im plan to build a feeder (corn) to hang from a tree. Im only going to take a doe this year, so my little 4 point can grow. By the way, what caliber gun do you use?

Too many hunters think they have to get a buck every year and don't care how small it is. Then they wonder why there are no big bucks. Last year, I let a decent 8-pointer walk during shotgun season.
In Illinois, the archery season lasts from Oct 1 'til the middle of January. We have 2 gun seasons: 3-day weekend before Thanksgiving and 4-day weekend after Thanksgiving. Shotguns w/slugs only - no rifles. I use my 12 gauge. The very sparse shotgun season and no rifles are surely reasons the deer hunting is so good in Illinois.

It is otherwise known as my garden. I was cutting a downed oak tree in the woods this week and the soft ground was full of deer tracks. Bow only here in the 'burbs but my cousin has a disability waiver so he can use a crossbow. I hope he fills his freezer this season so I can fill mine next year!
