Kansas.....-2 bucks!
I am new here but wanted to share my story.....I have really enjoyed reading things on this forum for the last few weeks!
Here goes........Rusty and I were tested to the max this week on our Kansas Muzzleloader hunt. 3 days out of 5 with 40+mph winds will drive you flippin nuts......
We only saw 4 bucks in 5 days while on stand! Its just a good thing 2 of the 4 were big and in range!
We had fun and saw lots of does......possibly over 100!
I shot my buck at 4 yards inside a homemeade ground blind with my Savage ML. It dropped in its tracks. I got mine at 6:50 PM after the wind strated to lay down Friday evening. It was too close of for comfort in that brushy area with every deer coming by at 4 to 10yards! The deer kept trying to eat the leaves off the blind while I sat inside!
My buck is 7.5 inches at the bases, 17.5 wide, and has 8.5 and 9 inch eye guards! It field dressed at 225.
Rusty's buck was 19 inches inside and already had 4 or 5 broken tines. He shot it a 10 yards in a creek bottom with a Ruger ML movin along very fast around 7:20 in the mornin. It wend around 100 yards and kinda scared us because there was not much blood! His field dressed at around 240.
On our trip, we saw some mega rubs, a few early scrapes and tracks everywhere we looked. All the bucks were in super thick cover.

All self guided. This was the first year to hunt out of a DB blind. Even though I didn't get mine from hunting in it I sure had a good time using it. I will be using it a lot more with my kids in the future!
