I hunt in central Missouri (Eastern Moniteau and Southern Boone counties) and like Hugh above stated, saw more doe and yearlings this year than most. Didn't see as many bucks as some years. But for us, 2017 would be one of our better years for seeing deer while hunting. We would routinely see from 2 to a dozen while bow hunting during early fall. One afternoon/evening during the rifle season I saw 18 different deer. Both the wife and I had nice bucks on the ground by Thursday of rifle season.
