How do you hunt in that flat country!!!
For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

Great pics and write up. Love the pics of the jumping doe! Looks like a great time even though you did not connect on your target buck. Man those pheasant are pretty birds.

Great pics sir!!!!
Country looks 100x better!!! Those areas were in much better shape this year. One area I hunted in Sherman County only had about 5" of rain last year and had 14.5" this year up till July then it stopped raining. The area these pics were taken in had 22"-28" of rain this year. The CRP was way taller and thicker this year than the last 3 yrs. One place I hunted on was said to have a good population of quail again. With all the dryland corn this year the deer hunting is going to be difficult until they get it all out of the fields. The irrigated was still pretty green looking. They were harvesting a lot of high moisture corn for the feed lots though. Thanks everyone.

I really hoped you would get a stud this year. I had my fingers crossed for you. Regardless looks like you had a good safe trip!!! Welcome home Glad to here it's looking up again up there! The deer herd is recovering good from the drought(farmers hate that fact). Numbers of young bucks(1-3 yr olds) is really good and fawn numbers this year are really high. Very few mature does did not have a fawn with them. So the next 2-4 yrs looks great for numbers on mature bucks in the areas I was hunting. The buck I seen on Saturday morning when it was 37 degrees was a really good buck. He had 12"+ G2s and 10"+ G3s with 5" brows and G4s that were 6" or so. He had a kicker(s) off his left G2 also. He had long beams and could not tell much on the mass at 1/2 mile but he looked average for the sheds of bucks from that area. I would have liked to have gotten a better look at him at 150 yards or less I don't think I would have been disappointed

Sounds like a really good buck... Average mass comment makes me laugh. I'd take their average up there over mine down here

great pics, hope you get to make it back up there
If I send my neighbors a text and ask them to give me feedback on my lawn and plant rye into a giant dong pattern, I'm probably going to get some less than positive feedback. Same goes here.

Sounds like a really good buck... Average mass comment makes me laugh. I'd take their average up there over mine down here Me too... The 5x5 that I saw a couple of days before was mature and had really good mass. He looked like a 130's type younger buck walking away in tall kochia weeds at about 500 yards. I could only see from his throat patch up when he was walking away. I walked closer and he came up out of the weeds in a drainage then popped over the edge broadside in full sun at 384 yards. I could see he was much older looking then. He walked towards the corn in the pics and then around the edge out of site. I took off that way and dropped down then back up. While I was down in the bottom some coyotes howled in several different areas. My friend was watching him from about 1/2 mile away behind me and said he was feeding along calmly until the coyotes howled. Said he looked up and trotted into the corn immediately. I was really hesitant to shoot this buck to early since there was a really big heavy horned wider buck in that CRP area. My buddy said he is very heavy bodied and mature. He told me you literally have to step on him in that grass to get him up and he has had his dogs point him when hunting pheasants in there. The area that bucks lives in is spread over about 2 miles/1200 acres of drainage and all in CRP. It so tall you can not see a deer walking in a lot of areas.
