Opening day we found this giant typical at first light. After watching him break off from the herd of does and disappear over the hill in search of a hot doe and headed to some real rough deep cuts we thought we would not see him again that day. We continued to glass from our hill in hopes of seeing him again. About an hour later to our amazement we seen him about 2 miles away coming back towards us and the does. We bedded them down and had a text book stalk to within 180 yds but the buck was bedded behind a yucca with no shot. We waited about 30 minutes and he stood up and started feeding our way. At 160 yards Bill made a great shot with the muzzleloader and dropped him. Last year I watched this deer fight another buck and break his entire g2 off at the main beam and he got to live another year and grew another 10 inches or so. This buck ended up scoring 191 and was 29.5 inches wide.
This wrapped up our mule deer hunts for the year. A very good year considering the terrible drought we are in. Just in case you forgot or didn't see it we shot this 210 buck in the September muzzleloader season.

Big 210 inch mule down
We finally were in the right place at the right time as our hunter Dennis was able to shoot this giant Kansas mule deer with the muzzleloader at 125 yards. We passed on this buck last year when he was a young 190 inch buck. After lots of scouting before season we finally turned him up and knew he was the one to hunt. This buck has had more luck than a cat and was able to outsmart us for 9 days before we finally got him. This buck is 32.5 inches wide and scored 210 6/8. We will post more pics when things slow down. Off to Texas to start antelope season.

Mule Deer Season!
Yep its that time of the year again. Today is the first day of the muzzleloader season in Kansas. We are after a smart old buck that we passed on last year to give him one more year. Hopefully with a little luck he will show himself in the day light. Keep tuned for more updates here and on Facebook.
