I shot this buck on Kansas public land last year while scouting for a friend. I was sitting on top of the flint hills, the buck was chasing a doe in the bottom. The buck lost sight of his doe and saw me sitting in my brown coat on top of the hill. thinking I was his doe, the buck walked 400 yards up the hill and gave me a 54 yard shot in the wide open, he stopped at 72 where I shot him a second time and he again stopped at 112 yards which I guessed the shot and ran a 3rd arrow up him again. I will likely never see or shoot a buck of this caliber on public land again. Although he is the smallest looking 200+ whitetail I have ever seen, he officially gross scored 201 3/8".
