Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Kansas White-tail hunting rifles

I've rifle hunted Kansas once. On my last day, I was planning on sitting on stand early, then driving home. After climbing down, I was circling around a draw to walk a native grass patch on the way back to the truck. I jumped a ten point and some does that stopped behind a small group of trees. I knew when they left, they'd be running. The buck broke cover and I swung my 270 WBY mag and squeezed. I hit the buck in front of the hind quarter, angling a bit forward, but not in the vitals. He dropped in mid leap.
Most any round will do, but remember that the wind always blows. Nice to have a heavier bullet to buck the wind. I've also had good luck with muzzy and slick trick broad heads in Kansas.
Can't find a rifle pic, but this is one of the better bow kills.
