    I would really like to go to kansas to deer hunt one of these years. I hear there are some big 'ol monsters out there. Even get to see them on TNN sometimes. We sometimes get a biggun around here but not always. If you remeber last year hearing about a 32 pointer being shot here in PA that deer was killed 5 miles from here.

    Yeah, i think i saw that deer in a magazine somewhere. To your question, yes there are some big white-tails around here. I am 23 and deer hunted for about 14 years with my dad and until a few years back i didnt realize that. I feel really lucky that we have some big ones around the area. I went out this morning to scout around around and in about an hour driving around i saw about 30 deer i would have kept driving and probably saw more but my buddy shot a nice big 8 pointer and wanted me to help him track it down. Anyway- you outta journey down sometime for a Southeast Kansas hunt.

    Maybe some time I will get to do that. I often thought about putting the rifle in the big truck and get transportation to hunt paid for! The company I'm leased to runs all 48 states so Imagine the hunting I could do in the midwest and west and get paid to do it.

    Being another of the lucky kansans i too can vouch for the monster deer out here. On last Friday i bagged (bowhunting) a large 14 pt. near the matfield Green area. Probably score 160 - 175, I am not real good with that. Stuck him with a bow at 30 yards, hew ran 50 and fell. 7mm. In Kansas there are a ton of acres that the state leases out from the farmers to allow public hunting. A lot of this land is prime whitetail habitat. I believe that the total area leased is in the hundreds of thousands of acres. It all varies from river bottoms and croplands to open prairie ans brush.
    Be bold in what you stand for and careful for what you fall for.

    anybody know anything in regards about the antlerless 2nd on participating farmers land(non res.), specifically in westermost cty.'s...the kansas dnr webpage was written so sparsely that i couldn't make it out(i can never understand hunting regs language for some reason- i think the guys writing them are lawyers and the regs are invented at theological conventions of scientists)

    Wittum: I would have to agree with you Kansas does have some really big deer , I know, having been born and raised in KS until I left in 1984 to move up here to WI, I hope you have a much better hunt than what we just finished with , our DNR has been giving out a free bonus tag for anterless deer the past several years and now its really starting to show, in 9 days of hunting I only saw maybe a dozen deer and nothing worth shooting at, take care and have a safe hunt!!!!
