just got back from kansas on a solo hunt.
after drawing a tag and not knowing anything
about that state, i asked for sny help on
where to start. once again, someone from this
forum came through. JCFORD sent me a pm with
a place to start. thanks again.
if you want to test your stalking skill, this
is a place to do that. with mostly very flat
prarie, finding anything to hide behind is a
challenge (be ready to crawl, alot)
had a 5 hour stalk through this.
the barenness that is kansas
and a little different terrain near a river. and
wow look at that forrest.
a "high" place to spot from
and a successful 2 hour stalk, to 56 yards.
and now a 2 hour wait for him to get up. when
he finally did, he chased a smaller buck off,
and he came to 45 yrds and was quartered away.
i don't even remember aiming. the arrow hit its
mark, and i knew he was mine. he ran toward me
an stoppedagain at 30 yrds. one more shot and
he dropped 15 yards from my feet.
at 26 1/2" wide,he's not the best deer i saw,
or even stalked, but overall i'm very pleased
with him. i have to say, he not bad for a first
time solo trip to a plains state. the people
i meet were great and i'll definately be back.
thanks again to jcford for steering my in a right
direction.
