rossman Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 An outfitter called me last week and informed me that two of his hunters had to cancel their trip for the second week of rifle. So me and a friend are going to take them. We are driving out on December 4th. I can't wait. I did not expect that I would be going to Kansas this year. Neither, did my superior at work. But, this is a great opportunity, price is very reasonable, so I can;t pass it up!!!!! Just thought I would share how friggin pumped I am right now. One question, The only rifle I have is a .300 Weatherby Magnum. Would this be a good caliber rifle for North East Kansas. Or should I think about getting something smaller like a .243 Mag or .270 Mag? Also, what is the typical weather for the first and second week in December? Thanks, -Rossman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mims Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 Re: OK, I\'m going to Kansas!!!! if you hand load or know someone who does you can load a light bullet weight with a good bit of powder and get a real flat shooting catridge.

IowaDeerHunter Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 Re: OK, I\'m going to Kansas!!!! You can never pass up a trip to hunt Kansas. Hopefully things work out for ya, and you can harvest a trophy buck. As for the rifle I am not sure, or the weather. But good luck hunting.

Guest kscumminsdriver Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 Re: OK, I\'m going to Kansas!!!! The 300 mag should be fine... I wouldn't worry about buying a new gun just weeks from what could be the hunt of a lifetime. If you know the gun and how it shoots, I'd stick with it. NE Kansas will have more timber and terrain than people associate with Kansas. As for the weather, you never know what you're going to get in Kansas. We have a saying, "if you don't like the weather in Kansas wait 5 minutes and it will change." Typically you can expect highs in the low 50's to the upper 40's, sometimes you'll see some 60's. The mornings can be quite crisp, into the teens and 20's. Have a great hunt in my home state... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Xen Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 Re: OK, I\'m going to Kansas!!!! i've been out across kansas and had it so cold with the wind chill, that anything that wasn't covered actually hurt because it was so bitter cold - dress warm, better take a couple extra pieces of clothing just to be safe. also - good luck, hope you have a fun, safe and successful hunt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kscumminsdriver Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 Re: OK, I\'m going to Kansas!!!! more on the weather... as Xen said, Kansas can have extreme temperatures and severe wind chills. What is important is that you prepare well and bring as much warm clothing(layers) as possible. As quickly as it gets bitterly cold, it can get unseasonably warm... especially during deer season. We've had numerous deer seasons when the first weekend is in the 20's with snow on the ground and by the middle of the next week the highs are in the 60's and you have morning fog.

Guest lilcrackshot Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 Re: OK, I\'m going to Kansas!!!! I live right out where you are hunting. The weather is usually around freezing but with no snow. 270 or 30.06 is what I have used and it does fine but the 300 mag would do great. Hve fun and be sure to post pics when you get back!

dogdoc Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 Re: OK, I\'m going to Kansas!!!! best of luck in Kansas--hope you get a Kansas Monster. I'd just stick with the .300--you know the gun and what it will do--no need changing. todd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
