Kansas Muzzleloading Deer Season

[Kansas Jake]

The gun is cleaned and in the truck along with a bunch of other stuff. Kansas muzzleloading deer seasons starts tomorrow. I plan on hitting some of the public land around Tuttle Lake near Manhattan. I'll skip my back yard that backs up to the lake as my neighbors that feed the deer wouldn't be too happy with me. :grin:

Not much active deer sign where I went this morning. I think the deer are pretty scattered and spending a fair amount of time closer to farm fields than in the heavy wooded areas. One area I hunted last year has been closed until Sept. 16th. Also the fields in that area are fallow and have no grain crops. Still it was fun to get out and tramp around in the woods. I may have to go back and pester a couple of chattering squirrels with the 32.

I did some scouting yesterday on some walk in hunting areas. one area had some deer trails and maybe a few bedding areas, but no real fresh sign such as new tracks or droppings. The other area was mostly pasture with few trees. The third area I scouted is fairly large and still has cattle on it, but may be promising. While in that area I talked to a local guy and he gave me permission to hunt on his adjoining 80 acres with a small pond.

He was giving me the eye ball from his yard as I was driving around the county road by the WIHA. So, I stopped in and introduced myself and told him what I was doing. A little curtesy sometimes goes a long way. I asked about hunting on his land and he said go ahead.

That was nice of him Jake. Shows it never hurts to ask. :thumbsup:
Good hunting. :hatsoff:

I would still get it writing, it might help you if a game warden stops you and asks you for a permission slip. It would prevent a trip to the guys house and a days loss in hunting.

He lives on the property and we exchanged phone numbers etc.
