Kansas Deer Hunt

KSUFirefighter2 · December 2020

Got to take a trip to Kansas to go hunting with my brother, and even got to spend a day in the blind with my daughter who is going to KSU. Had a great time, called for coyotes, hunted hard, missed a doe opening morning, and finally connected on this @ 2 year old 8 point. Good times with 1965Jeff, his family and the oldest!

We hit it pretty hard from opening day. I missed a doe first light opening day, on the side of the pasture across from where I ultimately got the buck. 180 yard shot downhill, tried to adjust for shooting at a downward angle and shot under her. I got to see a doe and a little fork-horn buck the second day, 250-300 yards off, just let them both walk. Friday we were in the blinds, my daughter with me, all day, no takers.

Saturday, my brother said we should swap blinds, get a new viewpoint for the day. I just had settled in, probably five or six minutes after shooting light, he stuck his head out of the woods, 100 yards in front of me.

I let him walk out in front of me and got my Savage .30-06 settled on the rest. He turned quarter toward me as I took sight behind his shoulder, and squeezed of my shot. He was @ 80 yards out, looking around nervously, downhill from me. The shot hit him in the spine and he dropped right where he was, flopped a few times and was done.
