I hunt south central Kansas as well. Today I saw a buck crossing the road a little after noon or about an hour ago. The wind is blowing 20 to 30 mph out of the northwest and didn't seem to bother him one bit. I stopped and watched him for a few minutes and me being there in my truck didn't bother him either, just slowly went about his business. I generally hunt from about 3pm to dark. Though from what I saw today the bucks are starting to move. Could be the cold front that just came through. Might be time to start going all day now. I know you don't want to miss the first week of November around here.
Live it up! Doug
