Deadheads and sheds?

Deadheads and sheds?

Yes!
That photo was posted by Devyn Messenger, who along with her kids and a fair number of other folks who recreate on the post hold a "scavenger hunt" for sheds for military kids every year. I understand that the Messengers have moved on to another military assignment away from Fort Riley. I hope the shed hunt tradition continues.

Another Ft Riley success photo lifted from Facebook



Classic features of a nice Kansas (Fort Riley) bull. Relatively narrow frame, shorter tine length, and wavy top tines

Getting it done on the post





The training schedule has been very favorable to the hunters this September. Many zones that have better elk numbers have been open compared to the last two years.

I feel sorry for those folks with special elk tags to hunt Ft Riley (October antlerless and "any elk" tags due to the knuckleheads in Washington DC

A mile or two off of the Ft Riley property boundary

Ogden, KS Community | Good size bull elk just outside of town, north of skyway, just as you cross the bridge | Facebook

Good size bull elk just outside of town, north of skyway, just as you cross the bridge. Worth a look if you’ve never seen a Kansas elk!

Kansasdad, I got the expected but still unfortunate email that once again I didn’t draw a Kansas elk tag. Still have Colorado this year at least! Know anyone that was blessed enough to get a tag?
