What a deer great job man.

Think this thread got hijacked somewhere along the way.

Yea they said it came in for like 3 days and shut back down.

Well 9 days the rut still hadn't started and I ended up with a big old Goose Egg and a tag sandwich this year. Never seen it like that in KS. Maybe next year.

Well I skipped a few days because there was no change. But today on evening hunt of Day 7 I finally saw a mature buck following two does and grunting. Hope this is a sign with the weather dropping in high 20 s and low 30 s that the big boys Are about to come out to play. Will keep you up to date. Looks like rifle season is going to be something special this year.

Day 3 no change. It's day 4 now in the morning and have had a doe that was really testing my patience a small 8 and a 130 come by. Maybe some of the bigger ones will start to move.

Day two was a lot like day one. Small bucks are on the move but still no big ones spotted yet.

Well the weather changed and not to much going on the first day. Saw a few small bucks but not much rut activity going on yet.

Great deer you have there. Love the drop he has.

Leaving this morning headed to our private family land that I go to every year in Kansas. From what I hear we will be getting there just at the right time. Will try to keep updates on how it goes.

Yea Tim I just got back from Illinois today and the Bucks are chasing like crazy right now.

Illinois 2012

Well here he is. Was a awesome hunt.

Well morning one deer were moving pretty good. Saw several small ones, had a nice 10 chasing a doe that wouldn't come into range. Then about 9:30 the man steps outs at 50 yards. Comes in to 20 and the Heli M drops another. Ruff gross was 178 6/8. Will have pictures to come. Even got it all on film.

Well got here early and got settled in. Went to the stand just to look. Saw a spike, weird 6 point and then a true stud walk out for about for about three seconds. He ran down into the brush were there had to be another stub because the fight was on. We couldn't see them but could hear the horns crashing together. Hope tomorrow he comes back.
