     Deer Hunting

Hunters may take any legal, antlered deer. In Missouri this is a deer with at least four points on one side.

We do encourage hunters to take bucks that will raw score at least 125 using the Boone and Crocket scoring
system for the following reasons:
     1. We have plenty of bucks on our two farms that are 125 or larger.
     2. A 125 or larger makes a good mount and a trophy any hunter can be proud of.
     3. Leaving bucks smaller than 125 means that there will be more 125+ trophy bucks available next year.
Scoring a buck's antlers "on the hoof" takes practice so we do not fine hunters who take a buck that does not
score at least 125. We do however, require each of our hunters to watch a short video on scoring deer in the field
so he or she can make an informed decision about which buck to take.

Mature does may be taken with permission. (see below*)
