Done in Kansas!

[tdcour]

Well, I'm officially done hunting bucks in Kansas. We are a one buck state and I was fortunate enough to arrow this guy at 18 yards on the second evening I sat in the stand. This is my 4th archery deer and my first from a treestand. He ran about 70 yards before piling up. Grizz trick did an awesome job! I haven't scored him yet, but he looks like a 4 yr old deer. Tons of fat from the corn and soybeans he has been eating! By the way, I found out it is hard to take pictures in the dark by yourself. It also didn't help that the camera died half-way through the shoot. Note to self, check battery before taking it with you.

Very nice buck! You may have had some difficulty with the camera, but looks to me like you have some great pics!

Great buck, Congratulations. I'm real impressed you got self-taken pics like that in the dark too, that isn't easy!

I got mine with a muzzle loader last week and am not sure what I will do all fall now. It feels strange to be done already. I'm used to hunting blackpowder a little and then scouting all fall, hopefully tagging out during rifle season. I'm sure I'll do lots of glassing and take my wife until she gets her buck then maybe a couple local kids. I'm going to the National Finals Rodeo for the first time this year now too, won't have to be buck hunting during rifle season!

I know the feeling! I've never filled a tag this early. I only hunted two evenings and now I'm already done... I told my wife I hope she doesn't mind me being around the house a lot more this fall! She may tell me to go scout just to get out of her hair!

By the way, I scored him this morning and he went 134 6/8. Minus deductions he went 129 4/8

Congratulations thats a great buck

Nice!! I guess you might as well scoot on over to the Missouri side, since your done!

 

[tdcour]

I'd love to Fink, but I've honestly never even looked into Missouri. I know a few people that live out there, but none that hunt much. One I know that hunts a bunch is... lets just say a little shady in what he does. (Not referring to you of course!) I may have to look into Missouri now that you mention it. OTC tags?

To answer the OTC question...yes

$225 archery tag, OTC. The tag is good for 2 deer and 2 turkeys. You could shoot 2 'any deer' before our gun season (11/15-11/25), or you can shoot a buck before gun season, and then use your remaining tag on a buck after the season.

Most of the public spots will be about worthless after the gun season, all the pressure really burns them out. But.... I may or may not know of several areas that are virtually undisturbed right up until the gun hunt. Let me know if you're interested.
