LIVE from Kansas 2012!!

day 12 afternoon.
Dallas had quite the morning on one of our properties. this property just turned on today. we got pics of the Bonner (not a booner by the way). Dallas saw that deer from stand as well as another buck 130-140.

so pulled trail cams. the booner and another slug moved on this fence row at 10 and 11:30. plus another decent buck came through at 9. things really blew up today on this farm. hung a set on fence row. last year all of best cam pics came from this fence row. so I hung set and will hunt this spot for next two days.

property has been stone cold for the last week.

That is what I was thinking! That is a whole lot of hunting!!

yes it is. I am mentally drained. officially pooped. success would never taste so sweet as it would right now.
that's nearly 10 hrs a day in the woods hanging, scouting, sitting. and every sit planning the next move.

here is a pic of buck we call booner. used to be a booner. he has so much trash going on that you cannot see. this deer was 180+ in 2010. he is headed down hill now. this is the buck I came so close to shooting 2 or 3 morning of the hunt.

[bbruno]

day 13 morning
well today is the day something great is going to happen. this is the first time I have been on stand in this spot. its an area that connects two of. biggest pieces of cover on this piece. most all of our best pics daylight and night have come from this fence row. we talked about sitting it last yetar. we just have had no reason to sit it this year until now.
"
last full day in ks today!! tomorrow I will hunt and then its time to haul sets pack up and head for the airport.

day 13 evening
well this morning sat until noon. saw nothing rest of that sit. so here I am back in the funnel set. big buck has been seen in this funnel twice. second time was yesterday when buddy was sitting another stand. really would must h rather be on a hot food source but there is no hot food source on this ground this year. really had to talk my self into staying on this ground. just not seeing deer in regular basis.

this will be must last evening sit in ks for 2012...

 

[bbruno]

saw 2 deer running. they were 100+ yds away. so no idea what they were.

 

[bbruno]

LAST MORNING
well this is it. back in same set I started in. still hunting property where we have killed deer on the past 3 years. no regrets as I sit here reflecting. never really had a chance at a 140+. heck this year I only saw one from stand.

this is the only one.

 

[bbruno]

well see 1 deer early. not 5 minutes ago see buck chasing 2 does. than see single doe getting chased. so not if same buck and doe. nor sure on buck size. just close enough.

 

[bbruno]

just had shrimpy show up and wind me. seen that buck a few times.
