 Jon & Shaun, I'm sending pictures of my [location deleted] deer hunts, (a little late but I'm still recovering from shoulder surgery 6 days after rifle season - I had it planned that way). I had another good year on MAHA land - 2 deer in [location deleted] and 2 deer [location deleted] & 2 turkeys in [location deleted]. I might add that I bow hunt and turkey hunt on land close to home. I sent pictures earlier of [location deleted] turkey hunt - which was great and almost too easy. Deer season was a different story. I hunted many long hard days and several different properties to get the two nice bucks. In [location deleted] I shot the 9 pt the last day of the season (11th day) I also shot a doe earlier in season. In [location deleted] I shot the 10 pt on next to the last day (11th day of the hunt) I hunted 8-9 hours a day and didn't see many bucks. Also, shot a doe in [location deleted]. So this year I really had to earn my bucks & the coincidental thing is both were shot on the 11th day of the hunt ([location deleted] buck on Dec 11), both at 7:20 AM and both at 15 yds.
Thank you very much for another enjoyable and successful season. Sincerely, Roger W. P.S. - The 9 pt. [location deleted] buck was the heaviest (weight) deer I've ever killed - field dressed over 200 lbs. Dear Jon, John and Jennifer, I'm enclosing some pictures of my first year Mo and Ks deer hunts. I didn't get any monsters, but I had a great time. The 10 pointer (w/3 stickers). It was the first deer I saw. I arrived and set up camp and scouted and met the farm owner - who was just the nicest guy and also his neighbor, that lived within 100 yards of my camp, was great and he and his son helped me with my deer. In [deleted] I camped on the property also. The doe was taken on the muzzleloader hunt. It was hot and the bucks weren't moving. Saw does, but only 2-3 small bucks which I passed up. I hunted 8 days. The 7 point (no brow tines) I shot on the final day of my hunt on the same property. I passed up a better 8 point the second day. I shot all three deer out of ground blinds, which I'm not used to, but
which I'm beginning to like. I have never been as close to deer. I even
had a button buck sniffing on my left shoulder and I shot the doe at 10
yards to keep her from walking into my blind and I had other deer within
4-5 yards. Thanks again for a great year and many memories. Happy New Year to everyone at MAHA. Sincerely, Roger
Roger's ground blinds.
John & Jon, I had another very enjoyable season hunting with Mid-America. I didn't get any monsters this year, but just being out there chasing these majestic animals is all that anyone could ask for. I am Blessed! Thanks' for all that you guys do, to help all of us have such a great hunting experience.
We always like to see doe harvest. One more for the land run folder.
It is good to work with hunters willing to take the effort to set up for pictures and send them in realizing something as seemingly simple as a doe harvest picture has value for the entire Association of hunters. Good luck this turkey season.

If
it were not for the fact that I was able to move to different properties, I
probably would have come home empty handed and this is something I really like
about this club.
10 Point with 3 stickers, harvested at 8:20 AM
