Ryan Koelsch and the Velvet Antlered Kansas Buck

The latest I’ve ever taken a buck was on November 3rd one year. Since I sell real estate during October and November, I have a lot of hunters coming into my Mossy Oak Properties’ real-estate office, looking for hunting land to purchase. So, by hunting early in bow season, I usually take the buck I want to take in the first 2 weeks of the season and find a buck for my girlfriend too.

Ryan Koelsch Passes Up a 170 Buck for Three Years

I saw the biggest buck that I’d ever seen when he would have scored about 170. He would have been a good trophy for any hunter. But I knew age and food produced the biggest bucks, so I let that buck walk after I first got pictures of him on my trail cameras. Each year for 3 years when I was getting pictures of this buck, I was really worried that someone else might find

Ryan Koelsch’s Tactics to Hunts Bucks and Trophy Whitetails

In Kansas, a resident hunter either can take a white-tailed buck or a mule deer buck. If you draw an imaginary line through the center of Kansas and decide to hunt west of that center line, you’ll have really good mule deer hunting and whitetail hunting. What’s made this area even better is there’s an abundance of public walking areas for hunting.

Justin Losee Trusts Mossy Oak Camo to Hunt Elk Successfully

Today I always try to stand in front of a tree when an elk is coming to me. Then when the elk is in bow range I want to already be at full draw, pointing my bow right at the bull. When he presents the shot, all I have to do is barely touch the mechanical release on the string.

The Wind Is Justin Losee’s Friend When He Hunts Elk

For me, elk hunting is like a chess game. I try to get into a bull elk’s head to make him think I’m coming after him, and that I anticipate his moves. An older bull elk is a very-intelligent animal and knows when another bull elk is coming to him and ready to fight to take the herd bull’s harem. That herd bull wants to know all he can about the bull that’s challenging him

Justin Losee Fights Elk

I believe that until you get in to the bull’s house (120-150 yards from him), he is not really concerned about you. But by bugling and going straight to that bull, I will let the bull know that I’m in attack mode, and he is either going to fight me or move his cows away from me.
