More Opportunities When Bowhunting Kansas Deer

If you plan to hunt the Kansas rut, you should be more concerned about the regions with numbers of does rather than the places with lots of bucks. During the rut, the bucks will be looking for does, not other bucks with which to fight. Kansas has quickly become one of the best big-buck states in the nation.

Improving Antler Genetics By Culling

So, what will culling eliminate? The truth is that culling for anything other than to keep herd numbers in check, which is otherwise known as hunting, will only adversely affect herd balance and structure. Even by eradicating a mature buck that according to several years’ worth of evidence has never had great antler quality, you’re also removing something imperative to a healthy deer population: structure and balance.

Frustrated and Bored But Mohan Gets An 8-Point Kansas Buck

The next afternoon, I came in from the other side of the creek and set up my tree stand about halfway up the hill, about 30 yards from the creek. As night approached, I thought to myself, “You dummy. You should have stayed where you were yesterday. All the deer now are running on the other side of the creek where you were set up yesterday.”

Cody Mohan’s Biggest Kansas Buck

The biggest buck I’ve ever taken with my bow scored in the 160s, and I took him on November 12, 2014. I had decided that morning to hunt down in the creek bottom, because I could see somewhat further there than I could in most of the other places that I could hunt.

Land Leases, Scent Control and Hog Hunting in Texas

Most of Texas’s deer and turkey hunting land is tied up in leases. Many hunters haven’t considered the possibility of leasing land in Texas to hunt deer and turkeys, because they believe that all the leases already have been taken. However, Texas is a big state, and it has a lot of land and a lot of deer and turkeys on those lands.

A Failed Turkey Hunting Test

I took my son Colton on his first turkey hunt when he was 5 years old. We hadn’t walked too far from my truck before I started calling, and several gobblers answered.

Kansas homes lots of timber in the northeastern part where I live, but the entire state raises plenty of crops for the

How To Hunt Deer Accustomed to Their Surroundings

Deer become accustomed to the sights, smells and sounds around them. For instance, if an older-age-class deer sets up a residency close to three or four houses, I think he can distinguish the difference between the way the people who live in that neighborhood smell from a hunter who comes into the woods and has an odor different from the neighborhood folks.
