More pictures, more gutting, but a shorter drag to the truck. Load him in Brad's truck and off he goes to the processor. Two down, one to go.

While Brad is gone I get another visitor. This lady was the manager of the Walk in Hunt Area program and she gave me a survey card and asked how we were doing and if there was any other pressure on this property. She encouraged me to fill my doe tag at a new property that had joined the program too late to be included in the brochure. It was about 10 miles away and she showed me on her map. The owner had signed up due to crop damage.

Steve finished day two without seeing anything. It didn't help that two German guys came in from the East with a bird dog, camera, no guns and no fluorescent orange and went right by Steve. When they came back down the road they stopped and told Brad and I they were falconers looking for quail coveys. I told them they better get some orange on if they were going in the field during deer season. They didn't seem concerned.
Day three we dropped Steve off and Brad and I headed to town for breakfast and fresh donuts.

After breakfast we head over to check out the new WIHA property. Picked corn fields between wooded creek bottoms. We took Steve there that afternoon but again no luck. Steve hunted Saturday morning but this just wasn't his trip, never saw a deer while in the field. I picked up my processed deer and we packed up and headed home at noon. To rub salt in Steves wound he sees a nice buck in someone's driveway as we leave town.

Overall another good visit to Kansas.

Sounds like you fellas had a good time, and got some good meat.

Side note- photobucket stamp is annoying as heck.

That sounds a great way and state to hunt. Not trying to know where y'all hunted, but is there a lot of WIHA all over the state?

Oh...and a couple of great deer!

For the most part, WHIA is in the western half of the state. There are some in the east, but not many and a much bigger population base to provide competition for those spots.

Kansas is definitely a fun, yet different place to hunt. I hunted there last year and had wind, high temperatures and the super moon to contend with. Deer sightings were very few. Congratulations to you boys on these nice deer.

Congrats on a very successful trip! I've already penciled in KS for a buck and bird hunt next year.
