Well after not drawing a tag last year I am headed back to western Kansas for the firearm season. Anybody else going this year? Curious to see how the herd is doing, will update post when I get out after Thanksgiving and start scouting
It's on the list for next yr with my brother in law. Giving wy a break for a yr, are you hunting public land? How is the hunting pressure during gun?
I am hunting private land. Most of the pressure on public land in Kansas that I have seen is just from road hunters
Made it out to western Kansas and spent the afternoon glassing the property we hunt. Saw plenty of deer and several shooter bucks. 1 8 pt that will push 160. Season opens Wednesday!
Well 2 days until opening morning. We have all our blinds and sets ready for the predominant nw wind expected the first week. All the crops are harvested this year already. Mule deer numbers seem to be way up here in western Kansas but whitetails are down. We are fortunate to have a great piece of land that always holds a good population of whitetails. Had a 160 class buck tending a doe while we were setting a blind yesterday. Hopefully find a few pheasants and prairie dogs today!
Good luck! Leaving for western Iowa tomorrow morning. Sent from my SM-A505U using Michigan Sportsman mobile app
Good luck, there was three of us from Birch Run that made that trek quite often when we drew tags. We moved our hunts to western Kansas also. Its been a few years since I went back. Now hunting NW Missouri.
Happy Birthday Ron, mine is tomorrow. Should start a tradition like that, sounds great. Best of luck tomorrow.
Really it came down to something else. I also started going back to SK again. The Missouri hunting is just about what i saw in KS. My last big buck in the states did come from muzzle loading in Kansas.
