Author Topic: 2008 Kansas success thread......with pics. jayhawker Trad Bowhunter Member # 3821 posted                     After reading a recent thread entitled "What do you guys think about posting pics" by ag-pilot I decided to post a thread about my father-in-law's (Andy) and my own deer season here in Kansas. I too, really enjoy reading about everyone's success but sometimes feel a little uncomfortable posting myself. Swamp Preacher responded to the above mentioned thread as follows: "Posting pics is a great encouragement to all trad hunters. Also, seeing what equipment (bows, stands, broadheads, etc) is a help too. I enjoy the success of others. And he's right. So here goes. My father-in-law started shooting trad about 3 years ago but had never hunted deer exclusively trad till this year. Early October this year he called me.....dejected. I think his exact words were: "I ain't never taking this (expletive) recurve with me again. I just shot over the back of a nice 10 point with a split brow tine and kickers". I tried to console him and told him to stick with it. Well to his credit, he did and 3 nights later he shot his first trad kill ever out of the same stand. The shot was about 7 yards with a 50# Black Widow PMAV. Andy was shooting carbon express arrows and 125 grain Magnus Stingers. The arrow buried to the fletch and the deer was recovered within 100 yards. Perfect. Here's a picture of Andy's deer. Fast forward nearly 3 months later to Christmas day at the in-laws. I had not yet filled my buck tag and so late in the season, past the rut....things weren't looking good. But I decided to go hunting down on the creek where Andy and I had built a ground blind just weeks before, literally yards from where Andy had missed the big 10 point and had shot his deer months earlier. So I told Andy to wish me luck and I would be back up to the house at dark to eat supper. At 5:00 I looked to my left and coming toward me (I knew instantly) was the 10 point Andy had missed in early October. When he walked by at 23 yards I took him with a 63# Black Widow LAG and Goldtip arrows tipped with 175 grain Grizzly Broadheads. Too much to ask for on Christmas Day but a present I won't soon forget. Andy helped me retrieve the deer and confirmed that this was the one he had missed. It was a long season but couldn't have been scripted much better. Thanks for reading.

Carroll Trad Bowhunter Member # 11606 posted                        TO BOTH OF YOU! One question, as I have never hunted in Kansas....Do all of the guys there showing off these tremendous bucks wear "RUBY Colored Hunting Boots"? If so, where do you get them and how do you think they would work in Washington??? Also does it spook the Deer when you click your heels together? Hum!!Wonder If the have something like that a Cabellas? Congrats to both of you!!
