I started hunting about 100 yards from where i was hunting and found 2 fresh scrapes on saturday right down from where i shot the doe. The only problem is that it is really thick and the only tree to hunt in so far is one that is in the y where 2 trails split. I have 1 more tree in mind but i have to see if i can climb it or i will have to put a lock on in it.

Nothing much happening for me. The bucks are more active, so it looks like the rut is here.

Had an encounter with a shooter buck the other night, but he was 50 yards out and I had forgotten my calls, so I could do nothing but pray that he would turn course. Of course he didn't. The aggravating thing was he not once, but twice, walked past my old stand location. But wow, my heart was going and after he dropped out of sight I shook so bad my arrow fell off the rest! Wink

Then last night I spotted another, could have been that same buck, I don't know for sure. I kept hearing a deer moving around in the swamp in front of me and I was focused on it when I heard a cornstalk crunch in the field behind me. A quick look revealed a nice one at 75 yards! I had the grunt call, but he would just pause a sec to listen and then back on his merry little way. Typical guy, not wanting to listen! Laughing He went right across the open cut cornfield. I hate my luck.

Well team....I was lucky enough to upgrade my doe with this nice 8 point.

He hit a scrape 20 yds from me this morning at 7:35. My Guardian slung the Rage 2 blade tipped arrow through his lungs and he made it 50 yds before expiring.

I would post more, but I sliced one of my fingers while skinning and quartering him and I can't type so well.

MCH Congrats on a nice buck...

Just got in from my KS trip and words cant describe the trip I had. Unreal. My dad was able to take a 160"+ 11pt in the first hour. I was able to take a 250lb+ 140"+ 8pt on the third morning, after missing a 155"+ 10pt the second afternoon. He stepped into a ditch just as i released. 2 seconds longer and he would have been smoked. The good Lord blessed us on this trip. it was awesome I'll post more after i get some rest.

went out saturday morning and watched a freakishly huge four pointer, and then later 3 bucks chasing each other under the tree i usually hunt out of. Then i saw two does slip up the same path hiding from the bucks. They were all grunting like crazy. Then i started rattling and heard something that sounded like a hog chewing on a tree. I look up the hill and see antlers in the brush tearing up a tree. He started stomping down the hill grunting this real deep grunt but when he didnt see anything in the opening he simply turned and walked off and would not come back to a grunt or more rattling. I guess they get that big for a reason.

Also, on a sidenote, i shot my optima with some Blackhorn 209 powder and 250 grain hornady sst's.......awesome. No fouled barrel to deal with and boy is that powder hot! I hit an old tree that was on the ground and you could see where the sst went it and was pushing wood out of the back and the tree was cracked down the middle the length of the bullet channel. It was a good size tree too. I cannot wait for gun season!

Well here goes, First trip to Kansas on a deer hunt and all i can say is it was nothing short of unreal. It was everything and more that i thought it would be.

The trip consisted of me and my dad. We left out on Thursday November 11 for our 16hr trip to North West Kansas. We made good time and arrived at 7am Friday morning which to my surprise it was still dark. (sweet i could sleep a little late in the mornings) We met up with our friend and land owner and unloaded the truck while watching two shooters walk up a draw. We then started hanging stands to get ready for the next days hunt. We finish up around 5pm and decide to go sit in a stand till dark just to see what all is up and moving.

Afternoon 1: Dad decided to go sit in the stand set at an old house place where he took a nice 11pt a couple years earlier. I decided to go sit on a creek bed that ran beside a big corn field about 300yds from his set. we got to our stands around 5:15pm and around 6pm the first deer of my trip steps out at 400yds. I look and he looks like a nice deer so i decide to hit my horns together to see if i can get him to look. Well it works and he comes in on a string to 25yds. He has a broken right main beam so i decided to pass him. After he walks by and gets into the brush i can finally size him up and thats when i realized i made a mistake by letting him walk. . With him in the field by himself i had no way to size him up and his body size made him look a little smaller than he actually was. Well after sinking in sorrow as the buck walks off i see that he is walking towards dads set. How cool would that be. Then about 30min later i get a call that he has shot a nice buck and will meet me at the house after dark. When i get there he said he shot a nice 11pt, I said i think in messed up by passing a nice buck. Then i ask him if he had a broke right main beam and he said yes why. I told him the story and he said "you passed that buck up" I said that after looking at all the horns of the land owner and listing to stories of busted up racks i decided to pass. I know a bonehead move but there are more out there. I hope. Guess this is a good payback for all the bucks he has put me on1289660070.jpg

230lb 11pt going to score in the 160's

Day 1: That morning i saw 8 shooter buck (after having my head recalibrated on horn size) 200 pheasants and 25 Rio longbeards. It was an awesome morning.

That after noon I saw a lot of deer and out of nowhere a 155"+ 10pt steps out of the brush on the edge of a creek bank. He was a little far but i felt comfortable with the shot and just as i released the arrow he steps into the creek and i miss him by a second. If he would have not stepped into the creek i would have smoked him. Just adds to the first day, it will be anther sleepless night. Two days and two huge bucks and i dont capitalize on either of them. My luck may be running out.

Day 2 the wind was blowing 60mph so we decided to stay in and help the farmer out around his land. We also went to hang another set where i had been seeing some good deer cross on a point.

Day 3 I was sitting on the new stand set and could see a huge buck tending a doe with 2 other shooter bucks and a smaller bucks were trying to get close to her. The larger buck wasn’t having any of it, he would chase them off. The doe finally worked her way to the creek bed where i was at hunting so i was hoping a buck would work its way to me. Well thats how it worked out, my buck steps out at 8yds and i am able to arrow him. I was beyond excited, he ran 100yds and folded up

He is a 250lb+ 8pt that will go in the 140's

Day 4 I was able to arrow a nice 160lb doe. The good Lord blessed us on this trip and i cant wait to go back.
