Alright, since I know most of you guys waited, or have no idea that Mother’s Day is Sunday, how about some gift ideas for wives?
I have nothing to contribute because I can’t think of anything.
It is time to start contacting your legislators to let them know what you think about the currently introduced bills. We will be sending action alerts urging you to contact committees and legislators about specific bills if and when hearings are held. So stay alert and act fast. These hearings...

I knew CWD was spreading in KS, but this graphic doesn’t paint a great picture for the future. KS’ current CWD testing program is not great, and they test a very low percentage of the overall harvest. I will probably start testing all of my deer moving forward.
I have been hunting elk every year with my brother since 2017. We generally have done party applications on archery tags and have gotten pretty lucky including drawing NM twice. We have also been marginally successful. Between my older brother and myself, we have killed 7 bulls since we...
KS BHA had the honor of organizing an event to help sign 7,700 new WIHA acres in KS today. I don’t do social media so I figured I would share here. There is another large property in the works that will hopefully be signed up soon.
Picking up a compact 7mm-08 for my boys to use as an all around gun in the coming years. I have a 4.5-14x50 Leupold that I could put on it. Im just wondering if a 50mm scope is going to be too high for them to get a good sight picture? Any experience or recommendations? Should I buy a...
I am heading out to CO next week for a muzzleloader elk hunt. I’m just curious what other people do. Do you leave your gun loaded the entire time, or reload it every couple of days due to moisture concerns?
Can someone clarify how this draw works?
I’m assuming they are including preference point only applicants in the “number of applicants” column, but that isn’t very clear on the website.
Was not expecting this at all. Already have my hunting pretty well planned for the Fall. Low odds of drawing, but I’m not entirely sure I want the tag especially with the drought. Anyone have opinions on this tag or area? What would you do? I live in KC so it’s no small trip.
Are there any hunting boots on the market with a wide toe box similar to Altra? I have Altras and they are great, but would like to find a durable late season boot. I ordered some Lowa tibets in Wide, but they still feel really snug.
Well unfortunately I am learning the hard way that feet get bigger as you age. Didnt know that was a thing until recently.
These are uninsulated boots. Bought around 4 years ago. They have new laces and a new set of the flatter insoles they sell. I was hoping that was my problem. I also...

Are the nonpermit javelina areas worth checking out? Headed to Az with the family in April and considered taking my 2 oldest boys (7 &5) out to try to find a javelia. It would likely just be a one day excursion. I’m just wondering if it’s a complete waste of time and money? Otherwise plan B...
How much pressure does the general rifle deer season add to the pressure in general elk units? I’m sure it varies. planning to archery hunt elk in western WY mid september.
My bow is tuned and shoots great with field points. Screw some broadheads on and it looks like a knuckleball pitcher. any ideas?
Ive tried a couple brands and they do the same thing.
