Kansas Hunting Heating Up
Brandon Wilmoth, RutWear Field Expert
Kansas deer hunting is getting very interesting now in this 2008 season. The bucks are on the move and looking for hot does. The weather is beginning to balance out and becoming cold and crispy in late November. State reports have it that rut has been in full swing for more than a week and you can catch bucks "cruising" the timber almost all day long. In my area of south central Kansas, I have been seeing some nice bucks harvested but I, myself, am still waiting for a Kansas monster. I have been having great success with grunting and rattling in a wide variety of eight, nine, and a few ten pointers but still have not saw the buck I want to put my tag on.
I just recently got permission on a new piece of ground that I'm looking forward to hunting this holiday season. The ground runs along the Arkansas River with a good piece of timber between the river and a winter wheat field. The deer sign is very strong with rubs, scrapes, and trails winding all throughout the property. I always enjoy hunting a new piece of property as it brings new challenges and the little itch in the back of your head of what might be coming down the trail next.
I have been trying out my new Rutwear products this deer hunting season and I have enjoyed the silences that each item gives me from my clothing to my packs. The one item that I have enjoyed the most this season is my RutWear Utility Handwarmer. This product allows me to store my release, grunt call, face mask, and other items without worrying about misplacing them. It is also great for keeping my hands warm on those early morning hunts here in Kansas. Good luck this season and hope everyone fills their tag with something they are proud of.
Happy Hunting,
