The great Kansas Buck.

I saw the big ole boy everyday. He packs a big rack.

The last day I saw him he was walking across the middle of our 160 acre farm in mid afternoon. The Day before Deer season opened.

Sunday Dec 14th was the last day of our deer season, another year of him going nocturnal and hiding for 11 days. I will see him tomorrow. He has to walk by just to show me he has won. Just like has has for 2 straight years.

Sunday evening I used 2 of my 3 deer tags on large Does. A fella has to eat and Does are really best. I'll use the 3rd one on another Doe in the January Antler less hunt.

Wouldn't the greatest irony be him losing his antlers early and me bagging him?

May he show himself in his full antlered glory to you
chasing a hot Doe next year.
Good Luck my Friend.
Scope up the Deer Heads real good in January before
putting tension on the trigger.....

An old deer hunter once told me that you will remember the ones that got away long after the ones you bagged, The old boy knew what he was talking about.

But where are the pictures????

That's what deer hunting is all about, waiting for the big one to show himself, maybe next year... and he will be bigger!

Do you have him on any of your game cameras? We had one for three years, it was a 12 point when it was killed and aged at 5 1/2 years-old.... well worth the wait!

At least you saw some Sunday. We saw nothing Saturday or Sunday. Warm humid weather and nothing was moving.

Havent seriously hunted deer in 20 years,but I know a steep, narrow canyon about 30 minutes from my old home that had a handful of the biggest mulie bucks living there during the heat of archery season.I had more fun and frustration trying to put a sneak into range with those guys.By rifle season they would no longer be there.One year I spent almost the whole month of August chasing one buck in particular and finally settled for a doe several miles from there on the last day.

It was too warm here the whole season.

Sunday a front inched it's way here. I bagged the Does just before 4:00 PM.

I pulled them to the house and started field dressing, raindrops as big as marbles fell as I started on the 2nd Doe. I was soaked by the time I finished and got them loaded in the truck for the AM trip to the processor.
