Applied for my Kansas deer permit - 04/10/25 07:28 PM

Put in for both a whitetail tag and mule deer tag.First you get drawn for a whitetail deer tag.If you get drawn then you see if your drawn for a mule deer tag.If drawn for the mule deer tag you have your choice of shooting a whitetail or mule deer.Not both.

Bob Jameson , you get a chance to trap western KS dont pass it up. Cat numbers are not good and coyote prices bad, but you'll have a million dollars worth of fun.

Apparently not. KS isn't in his list of 600+ deer. Guess he's trying to "kill them all" too.

I already answered this.I will only kill a Boone and Crockett buck hunting in Kansas.I kill enough deer in other states.Why don't you take your crying and boohooing somewheres else.I can now see why you was banned in other places.All makes sense now.

Banned in other places? To my knowledge Tman is the only place I've been banned from. Unless you're talking about the NTA

Re: Applied for my Kansas deer permit - 04/11/25 08:00 PM

Bruce my point is awhile ago u posted u have been applying for a ks mule deer tag every year recently. As you can see now you can't do that without applying for a ks whitetail tag first and more years than now a non resident will draw the whitetail tag. I don't think you have been to ks in the last few years to hunt whitetails so it makes me wonder when said you have been putting in for a ks tag every year

Lol.....I HAVE been drawn twice for the whitetail tags but not yet for the mule deer tag which is Alot harder to draw.I have choose to pass on quite a few bucks looking for that booner in Kansas.When I shoot one trapperman will know.I will have to tell my brother in-law that you said I have not been hunting in Kansas for whitetails.He will get a huge laugh out of it. laugh

Out of curiosity have u been putting in for tags every year in the last 5 years and have u been drawing the whitetail tag in those yrs. I'm talking recently not 6 years ago or longer

Yes sir, I put in two of those years as a group with my inlaws and three times just myself.Been drawn both times with the group.I don't believe the group put in for a mule deer tag those two years.

Re: Applied for my Kansas deer permit - 04/11/25 11:17 PM

So u have been to ks hunting in last couple years?
Mule deer population is bad and getting worse every year here in KS even worse on mature bucks. 6 seven years ago I could go out for 5 days and see half a dozen mature bucks last year we only found one and he was well past his prime and wouldn't have scored very good. We aren't going back for awhile. Locals say too many non locals coming out and killing all the young bucks just to get a muley. It's a shame because there use to be some real toads out there.

Bruce, out of the huge number of deer you have killed, how many of those have been Boone & Crockett bucks?
