Hunting Leases/Kids Hunting/Drury Syndrome
Wide open Wide open public access to private whitetail land was a very small window. Deer didn’t exist in many places and hunters had free access on private to small game hunt. The deer made a comeback and hunters wanted free access to shoot slugs and high powered rifles. That’s a whole...- 3855WIN

Hunting Leases/Kids Hunting/Drury Syndrome
“Trophy hunting versus hunting heritage and using the meat. ” My season of trophy hunting thus far has yielded a Kansas archery 148” buck, three hogs and four does. The meat will be used. That Kansas buck had to be around 300 pounds. That’s a lot of meat.- 3855WIN

Hunting Leases/Kids Hunting/Drury Syndrome
I’m 59. When I was a kid, young boys desperately wanted to be part of a man’s world. By about ten years old, we could drive a truck and a tractor. We started carrying a gun when we were big enough to handle an adult sized firearm, as youth models didn’t exist. That upbringing is rare now in...- 3855WIN

Hunting Leases/Kids Hunting/Drury Syndrome
I was the kid back in the old days, hoping against hope, to see just a little bit of bone. There was a one day doe hunt, otherwise they were off limits. So that meant many days of no opportunity to shoot. The kids have it much better now, as they can shoot does nearly every day of season.- 3855WIN

Go hunt them right now with a chair and ratttling antlers. Set up downwind of bedding areas and see what you can get to respond. I like to use a Waldrop pacseat, but any portable chair will do. -
Best whitetail state
The best whitetail hunting is likely Iowa. Though it’s difficult to draw the best areas as a NR. The best and being able to hunt every couple of years is Kansas. Hunt the last week of October on Midwest public land. The bucks will be moving and you’ll be there a week before everyone else. -
Best whitetail state
Two weeks ago, I got this “skinny little whitetail”. -
That was fast
Or issue tag numbers with the idea that some won’t be used. -
Kansas 2025
Congrats. I really enjoyed Kansas this fall. Rattled in 8 bucks in the first three days. -
CWD research
What CWD am I preventing by boiling this Kansas deer skull right now? It’s not hot enough to kill it. Has the spread of CWD been linked to harvested animals being moved? Seems logical, but not sure it’s been proven.- 3855WIN
