Today was our first full day of hunting in Kansas. It surpassed all expectations since I came without any. About an hour after daylight I saw two does, but nothing followed. An hour after that at 8:30 I saw a really good, but immature 10-pointer. He passed right underneath my stand and I took a short video clip of him. Shortly after he passed by a 6-pointer came into the woods from the corn-field behind me. A coyote followed a short time later but he didn’t offer a shot. At 10 o’clock I saw a big 7-pointer cruising along the top of the ridge. At 11:00 I saw a giant 10-pointer with a split brow. The guys have a bunch of trail-cam photos of him. He wasn’t interested in my grunt call cand kept going on his way. Dad saw the same small 6-point and 10-point. He also had a shooter 10-pointer at 12 yards. Since it was the first day he elected not to shoot him. He regrets that decision already. He thinks the deer scored in the 140’s, but it didn’t look mature.
This evening dad saw a small buck and a doe. I didn’t see anything. This is one of the bucks I passed the first day.
Immature buck. I passed him the first day in Kansas.
