Hunting Northeast Missouri

Wise words from the heart of Frankford, MO.

Hunting Northeast Missouri
Cory Buchanan

After an exciting hunting season, I sat down with two local hunters, Cory Buchanan and Matt Hudson for a chat. Here is what they had to say:

"Whitetail deer hunting is very popular in northeast Missouri," Buchanan said. "Scouting deer is a very successful way to put yourself in a position to harvest a deer. Trail cameras are the easiest way to know what kind of deer herd you have on your farm, or wherever you hunt. Trail cameras take pictures and videos of animal movement. They allow you to pattern and learn where and when the deer are moving. Not everyone realizes the effort you have got to put in and all the time you spend. It is not always as easy as all the television shows make it seem. There are tons of things that determine if you succeed, starting with your stand placement. Stand place is a big one because if you are not in the right spot then you are not gonna be successful. You, also, have to play the wind. The wind is a big part of bein' successful."

"Sometimes it is a mind game that you play with yourself because the good ole' Missouri weather plays a big factor," Hudson said. "When you are sitting out one day and it's forty degrees and then the next day it can be below zero. You never know what the Missouri weather is gonna bring. But that moment when you get to put your hands on that big Missouri buck, or even that nice big ole' doe for meat in the freezer, it is all worth it at the end of the day."

For all you hunters out there...

XO and best wishes,

Ashley Rose Corbin (with some help from those two)

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
