You ever watch tv? You see the monsters that come outta that state???!!! I'm not 17 hours, but if I had a legitimate chance at going, and a decent place to hunt, I'd be making that journey quick fast and in a hurry!

I'd say it's worth a try....I drove 37 for a chance at a bull elk...it was worth the drive.

YES!!!! It is deer paradise. Took this buck Oct 31 '04. Went back last year and left with my tag in my hand after chasing a 180 class 10 point for 5 days. If you have the chance...GO. No comments on the cheesy smile. I was pumped. Gross 157, netted 150 and change.

If you have a tag for WMU A7, I have a place to hunt. 30 minutes from the KC airport.

It is not a slam dunk, but depending on the property yes it is worth it. You must be careful to be on private land only after the pheasant opener around November 5th. Public land gets pounded everywhere I've been, including the most secluded properties. Dogs running everywhere. Last week of October & very early November is the time to go. If you have access to private land that will not be bird hunted during November you are good to go.
