3rd annual Kansas scraps bowhunt

[Dos Perros]

Hi folks, your pal @Dos Perros here primed and prep'd for the third annual installment of my home state archery finale, to commence between Christmas and New Year's Eve.

You may have followed along in years' past, including last year when I finally (after many years of failing) managed to kill my first deer with a bow. https://rokslide.com/forums/threads/2nd-annual-kansas-scraps-hunt.245815/



I have noticed better cell reception in the area this year so, armed with my MagView, I should be able to add more interesting updates as the hunt progresses. I'll also be adding story updates (videos) to my Instagram @sons_of_the_sod. So pour yourself a drink and settle in. I saw two pretty tremendous bucks in November so if they didn't get killed during rifle season things could get interesting. My freezer is completely empty so you better believe Ima send it.

Good luck man! I've got an unfilled tag in my pocket as well and will be trying to do the same.

You hunt on the ground?

 

[Nhenry]

Filled mine on the last morning of rifle season. Good luck

 

[Dos Perros]

This guy is my #1 but pretty good chance he’s already dead.

 

[Dos Perros]

Here’s #2, pretty good chance he’s alive.

Here’s #2, pretty good chance he’s alive.

He's a keeper. Go finish.

Good luck, shoot ‘em dead.

Man, good luck! I should go west and drop a scrub buck! Didn't fill my ks buck tag. But doe patrol is scheduled for January

 

[Dos Perros]

Alright fellers. The hunt got delayed a day by an ice storm. But I’m out here, feeling pretty desperate, but also thankful for another magical sunrise. We are the lucky ones.

Good luck!

 

[Dos Perros]

Got some deer spotted. Going to walk around for a better look.

 

[Dos Perros]

Came over the top a little aggressive and one saw me, waiting for them to settle. Group of 7 with two small bucks.

Saw another group of seven with another couple small bucks on the way over. Nothing mature yet.

 

[GSPHUNTER]

Looks promising.

 

[Dos Perros]

I’m 58 yards away from a doe, now just gotta locate the buck.

 

[Dos Perros]

She’s just below me.

 

[Dos Perros]

Found him. He’s about 50 yards away. Now the debate: wait or throw a rock. If he was a good buck I’d wait but kinda want to get it over with.

 

[hobbes]

Good luck

 

[Dos Perros]

Didn’t have to throw a rock. He stood on his own. I had ranged a thicket behind him at 50. Drew and stood up. He saw me and I settled my 50 pin on him. Fired, saw my arrow whipsaw in the crosswind and go high. I hadn’t compensated for the fact that he was closer than the thicket. Oh well. Go find another.

On to the next one!
