Gill-T

Looks like he is in a nocturnal mode.

You could put out an APB for a large pear-shaped man with a beard but that would describe 95% of the hunting public.

I wonder if they are looking for a downed deer. They have no weapon.

Was the wind swirling lol?

Rob, check out Kentucky for a DIY at Big Rivers WMA. Lots of land .....and doe permits.

I am picturing some white Gambler rigs, sprayed with doe’n heat, twisting gently in the wind while dangling from a tree stand.

Great buck. I think you shot him at his peak.

I think it has to do with our winters killing bucks weakened from rut and the fact we can shoot two bucks per season. Kansas only allows one buck per season and has easy winters.

Yes, your doe ratio appears “off”. The week I spent in Kansas was an eye opener for me. In 2011 CWD and blue-tongue wiped out a ton of deer out west. The diseases killed indiscriminately buck or doe, young or old, at all times of the year. The result of equal killing of the sexes is a buck to doe ratio that is dam close to one-to-one. The intense competition for does was evident. I had a close encounter chase scene every day in the woods. Here in NY, I may see one per year!

Great bucks guys!!

It’s all were you hit them. Were I am hunting the group has a policy of draw blood = done hunting + $200 fine that goes to food plot fund.

We have found one. The story is the same. Either hunter got excited and tried a quartering-to shot hitting the shoulder with minimal penetration or they are gut shot. The problem with the gut shot ones is there are coyotes everywhere out here and they find them quick. Once jumped out of their bed by the coyotes, there is no blood trail to follow just clumps of hair here and there.

I went on some more deer track calls the past two days. All calls were from Rage broadheads users.

Hunting memes are funny. Here is one..... ”when you see a giant buck but you are already tagged out”

Stay the course Duckman, that deer is 150-160”. A deer of a lifetime.

I am out of deer tags in Kansas so I went into town and purchased a turkey tag.

Swamp donkey down.

You look dominant thou the camera adds ten pounds.

I am in deer camp in Kansas. The home owner is also a deer search dog owner. While here for 2.5 days, there have been about 15 search requests. ALL of them have been hunters using Rage broadheads. I have gone on two searches at night with him and have given up on both due to lack of sign. The dog is a blue lacy that has coyote bred in. Beautiful dog that looks like a mutt Weimaraner.

That is a pig Bruce.

I became camp cook.

Greetings from Kansas. Interesting day today. I tagged out walking to my tree stand one hour into the first hunt. Big 9 pointer

Great buck!
