SneakyPete Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 Hi newbie here, wonder if anyone can clue me into the conditions inKansas in November. Maybe things I need to think of related to hunting blinds/stands in Kansas that I can't comprehend from only hunting in Michigan. I'm going November 4th for a week near norton Kansas. Thanks in advance any and all help is very much appreciated! Also curious if standard camo patters work, or is foilage more brown than green in Kansas....

SE_KSBowhunter Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 Im not from the northwestern part of the state where Norton is located, but from what I know it is mostly open country so a blind would be a huge asset. I have a good friend from there, lots of big bucks around including mulies. Your best bet for getting a good buck is when he is using tree lines and coolies, cruising for does and hitting the food source. You might be able to use a stand in those areas but sometimes finding a good tree is difficult. November is a good time to be here, the rut is just starting usually around that time. As far as the weather goes, its anybody's guess. The past two years that Tim has been here it has been hot during the first week of November. But that can always change almost instantly. Oh, and be ready to deal with wind! One issue you might have is having lots of pheasant hunters walking the fields, I think our pheasant season starts the first weekend, just depends on the area you are hunting out there. If you have an open camo pattern like Max 1 would be best, but a regular pattern should work. Hopefully my rambling helped you a little and welcome to the forums!

SneakyPete Posted June 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2010 hey thanks a lot for the info and feedback, your welcomes are quite appreciated! I had been planning on jut taking a climber but maybe I'll look into a small pop up blind as well. What is a coolie?(Your best bet for getting a good buck is when he is using tree lines and coolies) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SE_KSBowhunter Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 They are the "drainage areas" or ravines that the deer like to use. They also bed down in them to get shade depending on what the rest of the topography in the area is like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
