I shot a smaller buck here in KY but I still had my Kansas trip to hopefully do a little better. Kansas treated me well - I had several close calls with some big bucks but at the end I came home with a Gross 132, net 121. My goals are different than others - but they are my goals. Doing the right thing is always a must and that karma followed me during my Kansas hunts. I'm very happy to have harvested this buck and to have seen the other bucks that I also encountered during trip!
Near Pittsburg/Frontenac? If so, it's a small world! I went to college at Pittsburg State and grew up in Columbus and have hunted SE Kansas all my life. Nice buck! They really grow some monsters around here.
Looking at doing an outfitted hunt this year down there. Sounds way more exciting then going to mexico again for vacation. Did you do a DIY public land or did you use an outfitter?
It was a DIY with an old friend that I have known since I was 10 yrs old (50 now). He moved to KS 26 yrs ago.
