Opening KS Rifle Season

Big Nasty

Big Nasty

A good 3 year old buck
I didn’t get much of a crack at any ‘shooter’ bucks during archery (Xbow and all other archery platforms) in KS this year so I decided to dust off the ol’ rifle. I was fortunate to run into a good buck at noon today- opening rifle. I was sitting on my heated butt pad on the ground eating a Subway sandwich and chips when I looked up. Didn’t make a great shot, but I guess that can be expected when you’re startled and deep throating a foot long. The .300 WSM definitely makes up for marginal shot placement. He just rolled right down the ravine. Good times and now I get to sleep in on the weekends!

Nice buck. The 12 year old and I sat last night for the last couple of hours of daylight. Saw a few deer and had a buck I am pretty sure he would have pulled the trigger on (his 1st deer so I am not restricting any deer from his shoot list) slowly working his way towards us across the field. About that time everything cleared out of the field and a doe and fawn trotted right by us in the blind so I knew we werent the issue..... damn coyote cleared the field. Told him we will thin the coyote population once season is over.
 
Nice buck!

"...deep throating a foot long..." that's a talent that is hard to swallow 😲
 
Congrats! He's a nice one. They were moving pretty good around here with the temperature drop.

Thanks Turkey Creek. I’m sure you or your kin will get a crack at a good one soon. Saturday looks like really good weather.

It truly is a lost art. Never had a mouthful of sandwich and tried pulling the trigger on any firearm.
 
We sat again last night. The boy decided that he was going to shoot a doe that was standing broadside at 75 yards, then doe fever hit! LOL The kid has never shot a deer before and he got to shaking and decided he couldnt pull the trigger. Which I will give him credit for, I figured him for a lead slinger. It was very windy and we did see a few deer more than I thought we would see in the wind. Though our bottom field is out of the wind somewhat. Today is super windy and the weekends are a no go for us due to other things.
 
Nice buck. Congrats
 
Sponsorship from Subway in the works ?
