A couple fellas asked me to post the results of my firearms deer hunt in Kansas, so here it goes...
I bought a leftover tag this year for an area I didn't really know (I had pheasant hunted in the area once several years ago, but no where close to where I would be deer hunting).
I spent a couple days looking over walk in areas and the few bits of state land, saw plenty of does... Then I saw a buck.... so I shot it...
I didn't see another person on the WIHA property where I ended up taking this deer, nor did I see human tracks at all.. so, in my opinion, the program seems to work well!
The shot was about 250 yds as he fed out into the corn opening day. Forgive the red-eye, cheap camera and I was alone; I nearly forgot to take pictures at all...
Turned out to be a much better buck than I ever would have imagined having an opportunity at.
