jaytee,

The season always opens the Saturday closest to the 15th of Nov. unless the season would extend into Thanksgiving, in which the season is then bumped to the earlier Saturday which happens to be the case in 2007. So to answer your question it will open on Nov. 10th this year. Which sucks donkey for bowhunters.

It's not that bad. Besides you guys will be in IL at that time anyway.

Has team Aimlow ever applied for IA tags? You should.

Not sure if we will do the IL thing again next year. There are a few other options we are looking at...one of them being IA.

Iowa isn't all that it is cracked up to be.

Neither is IL.

The opening day for rifle is November 10th.

IA is about the only other state I'd like to hunt strictly for trophy deer. I'd like to hunt other states for scenery etc., but for deer bigger than you can get in MO, IA would be my first choice.

Also Keith, the first 9 days of November are plenty of time to whack a buck with a bow. If you need more than that, start hunting on Oct 31. I've taken deer 3 out of the last 4 years on that first week of Nov. This past year it was Oct 24th or there abouts, but that was under different circumstances. Bowhunting for the first 20-22 days of Oct is way over rated. Most of the time you're just educating the deer, imo.

What sucks for [email]Keith@aimlow[/email] is that he has to hunt on a teacher's schedule. That is very difficult to do. He can juggle a 3 day weekend here and there, but I think that would be tough. Weather and other unforseen circumstances can screw a good weekend real quick.

Warmouth · Post by **Warmouth** » January 25th, 2007, 12:26 pm

Yep, that does throw a wrench into the works. I have a standing 10 day/ 2 week vacation which works out roughly from Nov 2-15, on most years. In '05 I shot my buck on the first Sunday of Nov, which then left me twidling my thumbs until gun season started.

If'n I lived over on the West side like some of ya'all, I'd be huntin the heck outta KS. fornicate some IL or IA.

Warmouth: If you kill early, do you still have to take your vacation time?
