Great bucks for sure. Loved the pics and story. Good looking country too. Congrats to you guys.

Nice bucks guys, congrats

Cool deer

David, I used my Borden built 280 AI with the Barnes 145 gr LRX bullet. My buck was one of 2 chasing a doe down into a small canyon and I played cat and mouse for a while. She finally popped up on the far side of the canyon at 290 yds or so. I got everything set up and watched her for about 20 min waiting on the bucks to step up behind her. Finally had my deer pop up coming towards me on my side of the canyon. Terrain and grass prevented a good look so I repositioned myself and finally stood up and saw the buck standing about to drop back into the canyon. I took a free handed shot at about 140-150 yds. Bullet was a high shoulder shot and he dropped right there. Bullet zipped right thru with typical small entrance and 1/2 dollar size exit and broke both shoulders and made mush inside the chest.

Thanks Lee. Sounds like a heck of a trip. Better get to MS, they're chasing in the Delta..

Very nice deer. Reminds me of home. I don't know exactly where in KS you were hunting but we used to have a lease up in NW Oklahoma just 3 miles from the KS border. Looks like the same country

We were hunting Unit 3 in the North Central/West part of the state.

David, I'll be down Tuesday. I've heard the same thing as you. Got pics of a 200" typical sent to me from Buzzard Bayou which is 5 miles or less from us.

I believe I have that pic and another of a 200" plus 5x5. I've just come back, hunted 6 days and saw 23 bucks. Passed a 2 1/2 year old 5x5 on Saturday morning and Wednesday pm and a 23" wide 4x4 that had a very short G2 on his left side but was an older deer. Going back day after Christmas and hope it's still on.

Good luck to you I hope you kill the one that 200" buck was afraid of

Nice deer, looks like good country.

Both are nice deer! Congrats!
