Kill Example

[U.P. MAN]

Here are a couple pictures from a piece in KS that I hunted. The 1st picture shows the places I wanted to key in on based off of Cyber Scouting. The second picture is where I ended up hanging when I walked in, hang and hunted for the first time. This buck came in that evening. Pretty straightforward, not alot of skill involved I'm afraid. I really like hunting these types of areas, ditch lines are one of my favorite. I'm really not a "Beast Hunter" as far as hunting particular bucks, in specific beds. I do have lots of respect for the guys that do hunt that way though. This site has lots of good info no matter what your "Style" is.

So you never scouted it just hunted it that first time?

Nice, that oxbow next to your stand site looks like a great bedding spot?

[U.P. MAN]

Yes this spot was my first time on it. I tip toed in from the from the south, then went straight east just north of the first oxbow. I was keying in on a couple spots further to the North, but found what I was looking for a lot closer, which I really liked. Really felt like I could blow the whole property out by doing much walking at all. There was a very nice trail pinched between the ditch line and the beanfield to the East. That's where I ended up killing him. Yes Dan There was bedding in the oxbow to the South of me, but I wasn't in there until after I killed him. Some pretty impressive rubs in there as well! I would assume there was bedding North of me as well, but I never did get up there.

Nice example. I'd be curious to know what made you set up there and on what wind.

Thats great man thanks for sharing. It's nice when a plan pays off and it looks like you should be able to repeat that set up in the future under the right conditions.

Thanks for the post/pics U.P.....cool example. Congrats on your buck!

[ScottSpitzley]

Gotta love those first sits, especially when never stepping foot on the property! Congrats!

Thanks for the write up! Really enjoy these types of posts from other states. Very beneficial and informative.

Heck of a buck as well!

I'll second addisonlee's question as well. I have an idea on what wind I would go for, but am curious as to what wind you had when you hunted there

Nice example. I'd be curious to know what made you set up there and on what wind.

x2 - So which way did he travel from to the kill spot and what wind?

[U.P. MAN]

Accuweather was calling for an East wind. The blue arrow is what my Milkweed showed while in the stand. I would have hung in the same spot based on the sign/trails with a NW, or Dead West. Dead East I would have hung a tiny bit further to the north. Sorry for the writing on this pic, drawing with a mouse is tough. Where the yellow starts is where I 1st spotted the buck, Im not exactly sure where he came from.

I dig it. Great buck. Thanks for sharing the hows and whys behind your success.

Great example...really like to see details, even I get it, then . Found an area that is set up about the same w/o the crops, and tucked down between ridges....tricky winds. Gonna try and see what happens
