My buddy Ron (RGII) and I had another good season in Kansas. We both killed nice deer within the first week we were there and the Rut was full swing. Story to follow..... I'll let him tell his story.
Ron shot a TOAD 167 inch 8 point that we had been hunting for the last 3-4 years. And I was fortunate enough to repeat out of the same stand I killed my buck in 2013. He was a main frame 10 with junk all over his bases and some busted tines and grossed 150 with all his junk.... All on video!

. But we both held to our word passing up a few nice 140 plus 3 1/2 year old deer. We knew it would a matter of time before the does heated up and drug a bruiser by us. Ron was lucky enough to catch his buck cruising his normal stomping ground and made it happen even with the unfortunate circumstances... After Ron shot his deer, I made the decision to go back to our faithful " Killing Tree" as we like to call it.... It has been very productive over the last several years... I killed a 163 ten put of it last year and this would be my first time to set in it since Nov 18 of 2013... As always there was no shortage of doe in the area, most of them still had their fawns and didn't seem to be in estrus just yet... But around 4:30pm I started hearing a lot of movement down the ridge from the stand and heard the occasional grunt. That's an awesome feeling to know that I was probably going to at the least see some good chasing activity and maybe get a shot at something! I was getting pretty anxious around 4:50 when then crunching leaves gave way to several does and fawns coming up into the pasture... I had jus turned my video camera on to get some footage of the doe and my buck came running up the ridge and under my stand.... I had just enough time to hit record and get drawn back and put one in the wheel house! He ran about 60 yards and piled up..! I was pumped
