I think it's a bad idea during rifle seasonTaking a trip with my Dad up to Missouri during for rifle season. What's everyone's thoughts on a decoy? It's mostly open farm land, pastures and hay fields.
It's 300 acres of private, road down 2 sides, other 2 sides border privateUnless it’s secluded private I would find it dangerous...Missouri gets hammered during rifle season
300 acres privatePrivate or public? It would be problematic on public during gun season. Even on private take precautions (lots of orange in transport). I have tried them in Bama with no success. The closer to the Midwest, the better the results I have heard.
You a Bama guy too? Where abouts? I am North Alabama in the Huntsville/Madison area.300 acres private
Yeah never seen an opportunity to really use them here in Alabama. This will be our first trip up there. Kicking ourselves for not going years sooner. I was just curious to see what everyone thought about using a decoy.

Only southern Illinois which was farm land and hard woods, very similar to here, except bigger deer. Buck had to be 150 or better. Had 10pt last morning walk by that was kinda borderline. Made the decision not to shoot. Scared if he was under I wouldn't get an invite back. Wound up eating the tag but seen lots a good deer I would have shot here at home.You ever hunted the Midwest before?
So it looks like it won’t be a surprise on the caliber and quantity of deer. Have a good time!Only southern Illinois which was farm land and hard woods, very similar to here, except bigger deer.

The land we are hunting is 2 miles from the Iowa line. Both my dad and uncle went out there to visit 2 years ago. Seen lots of good bucks. It was in the summer. We were going to plan a trip with all three of us but my uncle past away from cancer that October.
Everything I have seen of the land in Missouri has been from Onx and Google maps. It's been 15 years since I've hunted with my dad so that alone will a great experience in its own.
