Anybody tag out yet?

I like that prairie picture, looks like beautiful country. Plant almost looks like a compass plant but not sure if you have them in Kansas.
 
The plants do look really similar. One is in the aster family and the other in the sunflower family.
 
Went out this morning to try to fill my doe tag. It was a rough one for me, but sounded like my neighbors in every direction were doing ok. It is quite possible that I was pushing deer to them, completely against my will.:eek:

As a throwback to a thread from a couple years ago, I added 2 notches to this season's "outdoor emergency poop count" this morning. :laugh: When you're trying to be stealthy in the woods, two emergency poop breaks will limit your success rate about 100%. :laugh: Hard to believe I didn't see any deer.:confused:
 
Well the last Sunday of Kansas rifle season saw a variety of weather. In the morning it was heavy rain that kept me in the house. By mid afternoon the sun was out and the wind was from the south at twenty plus, so one last chance for a buck with the rifle. I shooed the pheasant and quail out of my way and set up the ground blind. Took the GlenDel 3D target and set up for a decoy. There was water standing in the trails and any little depression, but no deer movement as evidenced by the lack of fresh tracks in the mud. By late in the day a few doe stood up on the neighbor's and moved into his milo stubble. Had a falcon chasing small birds around the blind. Later the marsh hawks moved in and did their characteristic patrol and they did flush two lesser prairie chicken that flew right over the blind close enough I could have almost plucked them from the air.

About dusk the clouds were building in the southwest and the lightning flashing and I decided it was time to exit. So the rifle goes back in the gun safe and the crossbow comes out in hopes of tagging out this season.

View from the blind with the storms brewing in the distance.

BDC2, IIIIIIIffffffff you get your horns back from the cat, are you going to make a really nice Derringer rack out of it? I guess your Derringer might need to have a full trigger guard for that to work......... At least you won't need to put a 16 penny nail in the wall to hang it:) Buck fever~
 
Maynard, your only mistake was to BE deer hunting. The upland game were trying to convince you that other game was on the menu this weekend. That there foam deer is gonna be hard to process, even harder to chew!

You have got that right. Within a hundred yards were three species of upland birds(one that now can't be hunted by humans). It is good to know that the upland birds are on the mend. There is quite a ways to go, but they are in the healing process at least.

PD I was just fibbing you about the cat. Seeins how I'm not a trophy hunter :D I went ahead and left them over there in Sawyer. I think his kids have been playing with them (truth). If you want I can get them back for you,, bet they'd make a nice addition to your wall. :eek::)
