[QUOTE="Bullmark, post: 2100122, member: 113003"] Shout out from a fellow smokeless muzz enthusiast. I hunted KS a few times before breaking down and buying a tract in Iowa....hence my love for the smokeless as we have no rifle season. Back to KS.....that early muzz hunt is a blessing and a curse. If your outfitter is halfway on the ball, he should have a strong idea of what bucks are showing up at his different properties. You are right at the tail end of their very predictable summer feeding pattern. Whether it’s cell cams or long distance glassing, a quality outfitter will be tuned in to which bucks are showing up. One of the reasons I bought land was the difficulty in finding a quality outfitter who didn’t over hunt his ground, play favorites with existing clients and/or guys videoing for tv. It’s tough for an outfitter to pay for his leases and other expenses and make a profit without booking a bunch of hunts. This means pressure, and older bucks don’t tolerate it. It also means lots of 3.5 yr olds, and often 2.5s are shot, which will ruin an area quickly. Also, the weather in KS that time of yr can be stifling hot. Pair that with the fact that it’s often a waste of time and counter productive to hunt mornings.....so it’s an evening only deal where if it’s hot the deer will move right before dark. That leaves a lot of down time.....ask your outfitter if there are other activities like fishing or shooting clays or whatever. Good luck and happy hunting. [/QUOTE]
