I love Kansas this time of year. This morning I got up and chased some of the biggest bucks in the country around. It wasn’t a great morning for deer hunting, very windy, but still I saw a few. With it blowing like crazy I tried a draw that feeds into some grassy bedding areas with a good slope. I figured the deer would want to bed uphill and look back down the trail since they wouldn’t be able to hear anything. The plan worked great for two younger bucks and a few does, but no shooters.
I quit by 10:00, check on some areas for tomorrow and scouted some waterfowl, then came home and traded deer gear for duck gear. A friend had some ducks and geese feeding in a field along the Kansas River.
We had an interesting shoot. There were so many ducks in the area that it was difficult to work any of them. With the great big bunches they just wouldn’t settle in and we passed on ones and twos several times trying to get 100 right. Any long time waterfowler knows how that usually works… Anyway, we killed our geese and added a few mallards. 
Hunts like this make me wonder why I spend so much time chasing deer…
Anyway, it’s off to bed now so I can get up early and do it all again tomorrow!
