Where I live in Missouri a buck has to have 4 points on one side to be legal. The other night I was on the front porch smokin a cigarette (Can't smoke indoors) and a tall wide 4X4 came running through the front yard chaseing 3 does right past me and this morning a big 4X3 was walking through the back yard with his nose to the ground and ears back and a few days before another decent buck was about 15 yards from my rear deck rubbing his face on a hanging branch. I probably won't even get out on opening day, I'm in my 70's and it's colder than it used to be but good luck to all of you guys......John
