A five pointer obliged himself with about 15 minutes of season left. An easy broadside shot from about 30 yards from my blind. .A lot of work after that, though. No blood trail, and a grid search for about two hours in the dark before I managed to locate him, then an uphill drag.
Meat for the freezer!

Congratulations FF. I didn't know there were bucks that small in Kansas. All I ever see them shooting on TV are those big bruisers. LOL... Again, congrats on a nice buck and some good eating. I'm still waiting to put my tag on one. Maybe after Christmas.

They do get huge around here. Earlier in the fall, I was at a block party and one of the locals invited me down into his basement and showed me about a half a dozen racks, all 150 minimum. All shot on his farm a few miles from here. He's not doing any kind of management or anything like that. Just planting his usual corn and soybeans.
My joke is deer in Kansas have a serious health issue: obesity! (our squirrels have the same problem).
Good luck filling your tag.
