In Kansas and getting the p knocked out of me!

It's done that two years in a row, but I hunted one of those 75 degree days and saw 9 different bucks, several multiple times and only had a lull of deer movement from 1130 to 1230. I was dang near IN the bedding area with a just off wind keeping my scent out of it. Granted this is private and I manage the hunting pressure as best I can.
Last year I hunted a post frontal day 40 degrees and 15-20 MPH NW winds After 5 days of 80° Temps. Saw an explosion of deer activity and killed a nice 8 with my recurve.
Those can be good temperatures. Good luck! Post rut. Focus on bedding in morning and food sources in the evening.
Yep I remember coming in last year on a Friday, just as it cooled down to a high of 40's on Saturday.
Seemed like deer were everywhere and the rut was ramping up.
This year, we saw deer (does, spikes) just noy as many and didn't see mature bucks during the day.
So let me get this straight. I can pee in the scrape but can’t walk on the trail. You also can’t pee out of the tree? Hummm, whitetail would be cooler if they bugled.
Quick edit: I forgot that you can’t breath or blink because whitetail are descendants from Predator and they sense all this.
I’m in for the win!!

You can pee in the scrape. You can pee in the ground. You can pee out of the tree. Let it rip! Not a good idea to walk on the trail though.
If you are hunting wooded fence rows and draws I'd be careful of entry routes, not due to scent trails on the ground but just by getting spotted, my experience they will use eye sight more in that terrain and will let you walk right by them and not budge.
Don't dismiss those little ones this time of the year. If they've got enough weight on um they'll come into estrous this week or next.
Seeing posts like this makes me glad my grind was over early this year (Nov 1). But hang in there. The magic still might happen. Best of luck!
Thanks! Unfortunately I’m done with whitetail this year. I’m out of time and funds to go back. I’m hoping to get a late season muley. My buddy has been in them!
Okay, I think I was able to hunt 9 days total. Not bad as I tend to use all my hunting time in September. My wife puts up with me being gone about 25 days for elk hunting. I struck out but learned a lot. I was chasing one deer but would have taken any decent buck. I did meet a farmer and he invited me to come out in the spring to do some shed hunting. I’ll try again next year draw pendant.
