Good luck Pat, looks like you guys hit the weather and rut right this year! I hunted about 10-15 mi east of where you are last week, it was still pretty warm and the bucks were just starting to nose a few of the does around.

Have a great hunt, I can't wait for the updates, pics, and video's!

I've been driving around Northwest Oklahoma all week with my job and think that with the rain that started today and the cool temps that are in the forcast make for a great week to be Buck hunting in northwest Oklahoma/southwest Kansas this weekend and next week. Good luck Pat.

My bowcase made it to Kansas, but none of my hunting gear has. Waiting for baggage claim in Alaska to open before I decide what to do. Sure do not want to miss the evening hunt...regardless of the weather. Currently caught between a rock and a hard place.

From: medicinemann
12-Nov-10
Travis, Pat and I are somewhat different in morphology. Worst case scenario is a trip to Gander Mt. I need safety harness, license, and other stuff too. I can even hunt in street clothes as long as I sit still... but the raingear sure would be nice, although getting cold or wet is a non-issue for me.

From: travis@work
12-Nov-10
Jake--yea I know Pat is a little bit bigger than you..he he he...What a mess. I hope you can get it cleared up quick...

From: medicinemann
12-Nov-10
ERA airlines is a local flight service for AlAska. None of the airlines that service Witchita have a contract with ERA. Therefore getting the bag delivered is probably not an option. I may have to buy gear, and pick up the bag on my way home. Honestly, I can't complain. This is my first or second baggage snafu ever

From: cassman
12-Nov-10
Medicine Man. Steve wanted me to tell you to buy a couple of sticks of camo face paint and paint your body and hunt in your underwear. Best of luck to you and Pat and whoever else is hunting with you. Cassman

From: medicinemann
12-Nov-10
Pat, The bag is not in Anchorage and it is not in Seattle. So there is a 50 percent chance that the bag is in Houston, and about a 50 percent chance that the bag may arrive on the 4:07 flight to witchita. I am going to wait for the 4 PM flight...if it is there, I'll be on my way as soon as I can get my hands on the bag. If it is not there, I'll buy some cheap stuff at Gander Mt and hit the road. The local carriers have no contract with ERA, so there is no obligation for them to deliver it when it DOES arrive. I wonder what that would cost?

It is only 0715 and I have had three tens and an eight within range! Fingers are not working well, so I will explain later why I passed.

By 0915 I had seen eight bucks and two does. The smallest buck has been a seven point with good mass.Action has slowed over the last hour. One of the tens that I passed on was really heavy, with good brow tines....but it was narrow and the G-4s seemed a little on the small side.....but man, it sure had good mass. It must be a 240 pound buck....good sized body. The other ten point that had me wondering was actually the dominant buck. It is much smaller in body than the 10 point previously mentioned, but the other 10 pt. is submissive when this guy is around. He is actually an 11 point with a 20 inch spread, but the G-5 on the left antler is only about 1 inch long. His left G-2 is broken off at the base or I would have tried for him.

I had to rewire myself to hunt Kansas. I took a 21 inch 8 point in NY earlier this Fall and was really pleased. In Kansas, I would have passed on that same buck. There is such a difference in size AND numbers of bucks.

From: Bozo
14-Nov-10
What is this with all the suspense Pat, you think your writing a damn thriller or what. Give up the details!!

Way to go Jake

From: nijimasu
14-Nov-10
Oh great. Don't tell me Pat found a bag of C'mere Deer...

From: medicinemann
14-Nov-10
I can promise you this....Pat's "secret weapon" is worth revisiting the feature hunt for....You're gonna laugh your butt off....but it came at a price.

I took some photos of my buck this morning. Pat will probably post a photo when he concludes his evening hunt. I would guess that the buck will gross around 150 inches. It was the same buck that I passed on earlier in the day. I just really liked his mass....width of rack be damned. Sometimes I seem to favor tine length, other times it is rack width, and today it was antler mass.....maybe someday I will find a buck that has all three and I don't try to talk myself out of shooting him. The downfall of being fickle.....

Nick,

I only hunted for one day, but I posted a few times during the day. I think that the mobile feature has "spoiled" some guys....LOL.

From: Bou'bound

I THINK THE SECRET WEAPON IS hunting in Kansas in the peak of the rut each year. That sounds like a key strategy!

From: Horn Donkey

Guys this is going to go down into the Bowsite hall of fame for live hunts!

We Have Girlfights, Tranny Does and a Barruck!! What next.

Hey Pat if you have a doe tag you could use the Barruck to pull in the Tranny Doe!! They would be a perfect couple.

Be sure to keep him on your left though. lol keep it up.

Awesome buck Jake!

Hope he got that monster he saw!

Great buck, my friend!

the monster 12 falls on an extra day. he is expecting you to be flying out and when he comes by your stand he'll be unpleasantly surprised your travel plans changed good luck pat

From: Northwoods

GG - My understanding was that the big 12's bait was a hot doe? The story seemed to imply that a doe led the big 12 and another good buck past the stand.

From: bill brown

Pat, I'm proud of you for letting that deer go. You can't shoot a 190 if you are on your way home with a 150!

Jake and Pat,
