Iowa Whitetail, nice bucks. What time period do you have the best luck? My old standby by of Nov 1-Nov 10th has been spotty in recent years so I may switch it up a bit this fall. Note: I hunt in Northern MO. One farm is right on the border and the other about 10 miles south.

I was down over the weekend and found 4 dead bucks, all of which died over the last couple months. Lingering effects of EHD maybe? 2nd hand info from a friend but a biologist told him EHD stressed some bucks enough that the stress from the rut and or winter caused some deaths. One had sloughing in the hooves.
