-It is snowing right now and I have the next few days off at work so I'm going to hit the woods hard. Still have an archery deer tag(and two archery turkey tags since I haven't seen any while bow hunting), so hopefully I can fill them! I have until Jan. 15th.
-Happy New Year to you as well.

In Missouri when you buy a resident archery tag you get 2 deer tags(only 1 buck allowed) and 2 turkey tags and you are allowed to shoot all native fur bearers(coyotes, fox, bobcat, etc.). The archery season is open from September 15th through January 15th for both deer and turkey.

The deer numbers are down to levels like I haven’t seen before in the areas I hunt. I shot a deer from both places with my bow this fall, so I have meat in the freezer and I will keep my remaining tags in my pocket. Too many people in Iowa are shooting everything they can, while they complain about the amount of deer they are seeing. The doe I don’t shoot late this year could be three for next season.

We're muzzleloader hunting for deer now, and haven't had too much luck. One of my brothers got a decent 8 pointer, but that's it.
@4ever, I hear you about the unscrupulous deer hunters here in Iowa. My brother was scouting in a popular public-hunting area, and he found two does that had been shot perfectly, right through the chest, and whoever shot them had just left them lay in the open woods, without taking any meat. I wish I could get my hands on those worthless idiots...
