Well like i said the December firearms season is always HOT, at least where i am. I have seen more big bucks during that two week period than all other times combined. Killed 3 of my last 4 bucks during December firearms season.

That's awesome RM!
I lined up so much prime land last year it made my head spin.
Most with just a phone call also.

Always keep in mind though. There are I'm sure some kids( local) that would love to hunt but have no place or are afraid to ask to hunt. Having that much property is cool but, maybe work with the owner on getting some kids in there first.

You n I like big deer but I'm doing quit a bit of sacrifices these days to help out the youngins.

Yea I have 3 small kids and have a lease in Illinois and have a little place in Ohio that I hunt so it's hard to get time to go very much. But it's not every day that you get opportunities like this especially without having to pay. It's the guys homeplace and him and his sister and brother kept it all but no longer run cattle on it, said they let a guy cut hay on some it and the other is grown up fields with hedge rows and some bigger trees. From the topo maps he sent it looks great. Only problem is 550 acres is unit 12 and he said the 600 acre tract sometimes is in unit 12 and other years it's unit 13. Is that common for them to move the units

Yea bucks this guy would definitely let kids hunt, he moved here a few years ago from Florida and only goes put there a few times a year so he probably doesn't know to many people in the area. Said it had been 40 years since he actually lived there. He has a brother that stays on the property but doesn't hunt. The way he sounded they were over run with deer and would love to have people hunt and thin them out. Maybe he could host a youth hunt or something to that nature. He sounded like they never had any locals ask about hunting

Sound like a great opportunity for some future p.r work RM

There is no such thing as an "ex-Marine" ..... just Marines who have gotten fat.

You better check the deadline for tags. Might have missed it for this year. They have a later one for leftovers around July. Leftovers are gone really quick like within minutes.

RM - A Kansas State Representative is trying to pass a bill that would make it legal for landowners with over 80 acres to sell one deer tag to out of state hunters. Not sure if it will pass but it would allow a lot more opportunity for out of staters like y’all. Even if you cant get a tag this year keep an eye on our regulations for next season.

You still have a couple of weeks to apply for a deer tag. If you look at KDWP website, the deadlines are scrolling on the front page.

Thanks guys
