In Kansas and getting the p knocked out of me!

[kbetts]

Even on a relative "warm" day, the temp in deep bedding cover can be 10-15 degrees cooler cause the ground never warms.
Sitting downwind of doe bedding isn't as productive as sitting on the downwind side INSIDE the cover.

Just my take.

Well I thought my dreams were coming true today. A giant walking down the path. I could hear the monster steps crushing leaves as it got closer. I started to grab my bow and I could see movement through the trees. A few more steps and I’ll see the buck I’ve been waiting for. Oh! There he is! The world record raccoon just looking at me crushing my dreams.

Same. My brother saw a monster near where I hunted today, yesterday. Got setup. Saw 3 groups of different does. None had bucks with them.
Later another doe goes by running. 25 seconds later I hear a grunt from the saplings. My heart started racing. Finally this hot pepper turd of a season is finally turning around.
Out comes a spike with perhaps half inch spikes.

You have to be mentally strong to endure 5 months of them kicking your teeth in. Elk hunters only have to survive 30 days.

This is way beyond getting my teeth kicked in

Yep, elk hunters are soft. That’s why I always offer to help people see the light with elk hunting. It’s easy to find 800# animals. Whitetails are sneaky little critters with ninja like sneaking abilities and head gear like wolverine’s blades.
Whitetails Hunters Unite!!

A little salt in the wound. I spoke with a guy from Michigan. He tells me Kansas is easy hunting and only planned to be here a few days. I gave him my dog so he could kick it too.

If your in zone 7 or 3 let me know I got a few spots I’ll send you

KS definitely has some B&C Coons! I saw one that had to be push 20lbs. They love to come walking out about 5 mins before legal light too.

Well, after a very disappointing morning I received some great help from baz77. I was getting ready to make a big move hopeful of better things to come. Then, my wife texts…. My oldest son is headed into the doctors office and asks if I can come home. So I finished an evening hunt with no deer. However, I spoke to my Michigan friend and he hadn’t seen anything. I don’t feel bad now.
Thank you all for the support. Headed home for mulies.

Exactly one second nothing, then all the sudden you turn around and there's Mr brown pants staring up at you like *** are you doing and then gone like the wind

Never been there but I would search for some thick bedding cover and dive in

Idk about kansas. But NE Oklahoma seems to be firing back up a bit. Getting pictures a lot of daylight bucks moving and some chasing pictures on cam.

Every hates on Kansas but John Denver is full of S#*t about most of Colorado. Eastern CO headed east.

Had a quick evening sit last night. I saw some does but nothing under 60 yards. In the tree now and have seen one doe and a spike. Hopefully some mid day action will be better.

I hunted NE OK 11/12 - 11/16. First day was great, then the weather heated up to 75 and seemed to slow the activity.
Different from all the previous year's that I hunted in November.
Over the last week, buddies in NE OK are now sharing their buck harvest photos with me :>)

Next year...

Mid day update. Saw a few does between 10 and noon. All small first year does. Mom either is doing things kids can’t see or she got caught slipping in the early seasons. I hope to bring better news.
