Thanks for all the input! I love having the opportunity to become more knowledgeable. Good luck to everyone this hunting season. It sure seems like things are starting to pick up here in NE Kansas. Starting to get more pics lately of deer we haven't seen yet.

Not to mention it will be 80 degrees here in NE Kansas tomorrow..... I can't wait for some colder weather to hunt in!

During this time of year and as we move more into the rut what stand locations do you prefer? I am trying to put a game plan together for this weekend and beyond. We have plenty of stands to choose from and we always play the wind but I just want to increase my odds as much as possible. My...

Thanks for the info! I appreciate all the feedback I can get. I am looking forward to trying a few new things out this year. I wish I would have been in a stand this morning as we had temps in the high 30's and it was 70+ yesterday. Surely they were moving!

Hey all! I am entering my third season of bow hunting here in Northeast Kansas and I continue to love it more every year. I have access to almost any type of setup from field edges, timber stands and food plots. I hunt exclusively from tree stands but do have a ground blind(never put it to...

Okie sure does have a good one!

Good to have you!

Blizzard Ridge, thanks for the scent blocker deal. I was t aware that they had that going on. Just got done ordering the outfitter suit and from everything I researched it sounds like I'll be happy. I also threw in some scent spray and insect repellent. My total went from $455 to $227 after...

Lost Arrow, I appreciate the feed back. You are absolutely correct on waiting until after season which I could certainly do in order to get a much better deal. My current gear has done just fine the past few seasons although I do get a bit wet in rain or snow if it last for too long. My...

I am currently looking to get a new hunting jacket for this year. I am looking for something that is wind proof, rain proof and has some warmth(must haves for hunting north east Kansas). I certainly don't mind layering underneath for additional warmth. Along with those features I am just...

I would most likely take him! He is a nice looking deer. However, if you let him walk who knows what he could be next year. I guess it just comes down to whether or not you have other deer to hunt.

I would say that the second week of November is when things really kick in for us. I really like the 10th-17th.... At least this is when I have had my luck the past few years. Is it hunting season yet!!! I can't wait to get out there!

I would have no problems chasing a couple deer that look like that! Should make for a fun season I would say.

Always nice when you can splurge on yourself! Hopefully it helps you get the job done! Congrats.

I am lucky enough to have a wife that understands my love for hunting! We currently have a 4 year old boy and another boy due in 15 days(wow that is coming fast). Funny thing is when we found out we were pregnant... the first thing I said after the original excitement was "I still get to go...
