I grew up about half an hour east of Emporia. Phenomenal hunting. As stated before, be adept at rangefinding and taking long shots, as there is a ton of open space broken up by hedgerows, sumac, and plum thickets.That being said, I've always found it easier to pinpoint deer in that type of environment because they generally relate to the fingers, draws, and funnels that separate the fields. Another great thing is that KS has a ton of walk-in hunting areas(WIHA) and it's not that hard to obtain permission to hunt private land.As usual,I'll be spending a good amount of time there thisupcoming season, sokeep us informed asto how you do.
