What would be your picks?
For my only Kansas rifle whitetail buck I used a .270 hit in the chest while facing me, it ran about 30 yards and died. For your back up rifle, I would take the one with the best scope.

Nick, I've hunted that unit quite a bit - mostly walk-in ground. You've got a good shot at drawing without a PP. For many years (after they did away with landowner tags) there were leftover permits in 11. Appears last year there were more apps than tags though. (2/3's of the tags were consumed by archery hunters) Just go and have fun. Leave the scores to football, basketball and baseball. Scott, I'm going (if drawn) on private ground with a guy that wants to buy one of my rifles a 260 I bought here last year. We've become buddies and I gonna take it to him in Kansas to try out.
Regards, Nick- Georgia

d500Inn-
Honestly, I wasn't trying to hi-jack YOUR thread. My intention IS to show you that the 6.5 Creedmoore----270W----7MM RM ALL will work in Kansas.
Yes, I injected a little humor but still was illustrating that most cartridges & rifles will work in Kansas. The hunter and his marksmanship are THE most important.
If I offended you, I apologize. No offense intended.
I hope you get to go and have a GREAT hunt!!
Jerry Jerry, I enjoyed all your post. Looks like y'all had a big damn time. Nothing and I mean nothing is better than a successful hunt with a group of friends that you can bag on and make memories forever! This is a public board. I'm glad you pitched in. Good luck to y'all this year if you go!
Regards, Nick- Georgia

Sorry - but UNfortunately I was NOT in on the hunt/fun. I am a 'net' friend only. I'd say they had a FANTASTIC time and got L U C K Y ! Jerry

MasterBlaster, what a group of fine white-tails! Is that a McWhorter rifle in first pic. Those deer are all studs. Man, I can't wait to get good new (I hope)

It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Not sure where these pics are coming from. Must be some high fence operations or something. We don't have those kinds of deer in KS. A pic of about the biggest ones I've ever seen.

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.

And even those are likely migrants from Oklahoma.

Nick, I hope you get a chance to come out after one of our Kansas bucks. Our Kansas deer are big, but they aren't bulletproof. These two both fell to a 90 gr. Accubond, the first from a .243 and mine from a 6mm Remington. Your 6.5's and 7mm will work just fine. Good luck! Dan - super deer! The one you shot sure is a husky bugger!
