Kansas rifle deer strategies??

[TN VOL]

Hey guys my group drew our first rifle KS tags..north central area. Will be hunting public, what’s your alls strategy? Sit winter wheat fields? Hunt thick stuff where the bucks will bed resting from the rut?? Thanks!

In general, the farther away from population centers the better for public lands. Isolated winter wheat is better than areas that are all wheat, with cut corn being great sometimes. Don't overlook folds in terrain in a cut milo field as bedding areas.

We have been super dry the second half of this year. Water considerations could be the ticket.

Is there ever any rutting activity the first couple days of rifle in your experience??

If it has cover for birds your going to have company, but if its in wheat due to rotation you just might be able to have a deer hunt without getting run over.
