Nice. My cousin gets herself a deer every year with a black powder gun. I have never seen a deer during that 2nd gun season... We're originally from the hollers down in s/e MO, north of Cape Girardeau, south of St Genevieve. One thing we're good at down there is growing rocks and trees, and acreage is sold by the vertical foot... lol - deer eat acorns though, and don't get as big as corn country deer...
