Chad's Kansas 9-point

November 18, 2007

November 18th found us back in Kansas set up on the edge of a crp field where we had seen some good deer movement in previous hunts. Around mid morning we spotted a shooter working his way in our direction across the crp field. When the buck got about seventy yards from our set, he spotted a smaller buck chasing a doe. His attention was immediately directed towards them. He turned and started heading in their direction. I decided to grunt and rattle at the buck but he showed no interest. He had other things on his mind at the time.

About forty-five minutes later we heard foot steps out in front of us. I caught movement and there he was. The same buck we had an encounter with earlier. I readied my Matthew’s bow and waited for my opportunity. The buck quickly closed the distance to 10 yards. When the buck reached my shooting lane, I settled my pin on his shoulder and released my arrow. The buck bolted but only made it seventy yards or so before we heard him crash. What a great morning in the stand! Kansas has been good to us once again.
