Weather PatternsKansas Draw
June-24-2009 10:34 pm
Overcast |  10.mph | Report Type: Scouting Game Type: Kansas Whitetail Location: North Central Kansas Terrain: Mixed |
Just returned from a 5 day scouting trip to our leases in Kansas it looked great out there., Talked with all the farmers that we lease from and they reported good crops and were just starting to harvest their wheat while I was there. I released all 10,000 acres that we have had and we are hoping to draw enough hunters this year , as last year was the first year that Kansas went to a draw system and we only drew a few hunters. So we are keeping our fingers crossed until the draw results come out in July.
PRESEASON SCOUTING

Overcast | 10.mph | Report Type: Scouting Game Type: Rocky Mountain Elk Location: NEW MEXICO Terrain: Mountains |
I just spent this past week over in the Gila at my hunting lodge getting it ready for the September 1st Archery elk season. Every morning and afternoon I spent scouting, the past few weeks it has really dried out and I was worried that the bulls wouldn't finish with good horn growth. But I believe all is well I saw approximately 20 bulls and some of them had completely stripped their velvet and some were not rubbed at all. Most all seemed to have good tops and last night we glassed an 8x7 that is a 380 class bull. He was not rubbed at all and a smaller 330 bull that was with him was completely stripped ! Anway if it stays dry the waterholes should be excellent the first season. Next week I will be getting our trail cams out so hopefully some good pics to come. Shoot strait! Van Hale

ARCHERY ELK SEASON STARTED OUT SLOW WITH RAIN EVERYDAY FOR 23 DAYS IN A ROW MAKING IT REALLY TUFF HUNTING. THIS WEATER PUSHED THE RUT BACK ABOUT A WEEK TO 10 DAYS, BUT WHEN IT FINALLY CAME ON IT WAS WILD WE TOOK 5 NICE BULLS IN THE LAST 4 DAYS OF THE HUNT ALSO MISSING SEVERAL OTHERS! SO ALL IN ALL IT WAS A GOOD SEASON AND WITH THE LATE RUT THE MUZZLELOADERS SHOULD TAKE SOME GREAT BULLS.

We just finished up with our Trophy muzzleloader muledeer hunt and we really had a good hunt with a 100% kill with the top buck scoring just over 180B/C. This is a great hunt if you like big mulies still in the velvet we allway have a high success ratio. Two of our archery Elk hunters stayed over for this hunt and did both Tod Librandi from PA. Took home two nice Trophies

Tthe October Muzzleloader and Rifle hunts were a huge success with over an 85% success ratio. Our Muzzleloader season was unreal everyone but one hunter took a Trophy Bull and he had several chances, and 90% of those were 6x6,s. The rifles hunts were awesome also on the first hunt we took 9 hunters and took 8 Trophy Bulls most all taken were also 6x6. We have been hunting almost every day so I will try and get these photos rounded up and get them on our web site . I know alot of you will be Whitetail hunting this month so good luck!
