Luckee - I live about 1 3/4 hours North and slightly West of Branson. That area is having its growing pains, and I am afraid they are ruining it. Of course, I remember how beautiful the area was in the early 60's, so their idea of "progress" is not the same as mine.
As far as deer are concerned, there are PLENTY of deer in Missouri! I am kind of spoiled, because if I want to go deer hunting I never have to leave my property. I have a pond of about 3 acres in size, so I don't have to leave my property to go fishing either. I love this place ! Tom <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
