We are headed to KS on Wednesday to arrive on Friday and hunt Saturday AM. I didn't draw (did last year with success) but I'm hosting my son and good friend on family land. Last years buck, no big ones on the camera, we'll have to wait to see what show. ![[Linked Image from imagizer.imageshack.com]](https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/xq70/924/G105EW.jpg)

Oh yeah, man, I'll be out there. I've put in a lot of time behind the bow this year and have passed up lots of bucks. But the longer the season goes, the lower my standards get.  No game cameras allowed on public land anymore but I have a good idea of the caliber of bucks running around. Haven't used a rifle in a few years but will be carrying a Freedom Arms FA 97 in .45 Colt.

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

My Kansas hunt ended the opener muzzle loader mule deer season in September. Good luck folks.

I wish I was going to hunt Kansas this year. But it's not going to work out. I grew up in Kansas and bought a lifetime hunting and fishing license many years ago. Nice being able to buy tags like a resident when the opportunity to hunt Kansas works out for me.
Just because you're offended doesn't mean your right.

Freedom Arms FA 97 in .45 Colt - what's your effective range with that? Looks like snow in NE KS Friday night where we are hunting. Got this photo yesterday. ![[Linked Image from imagizer.imageshack.com]](https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/xq70/922/q50shb.jpg)

Left the house at 4:30. Another hour driving and it’ll be almost time to hunt.

7:30, 50 yards, caught back side of near shoulder and must have just clipped front of stomach for a 30 yard run. Swede in my 1885. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/hPVWnS97/IMG-1304.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/521cNZ3K/IMG-1386.jpg)

Not a monster deer by any means, but I'm not too picky, kids activities take precedence over my hunting time, and I just like to use my rifles and make jerky and pastrami

Hell yes they worked now!
Congrats on the buck! Man, what a great picture of the buck and rifle. Congrats!
Nothing wrong with any of that being a bigger priority in my book. I like to hear my rifles go off now and again as well!

Nice buck and great rifle in a classic chambering! Have never tried making pastrami - need to look into that.

Good deal, Cheesy! Yeah, balancing life, work, kids, and hunting can be a juggling act at times.

The 'Skane Report' should be a good one.....
I never thought I'd grow up to be a grumpy old man, but I did, and I'm killin' it.

Thanks, we had a great hunt, was a bit slow for the other hunters, not sure why. The deer scored 157 5/8" which is much higher than I thought, was thinking maybe 140.
