|

| Can't believe that most of the bucks I have pics from over the last week and half still have their antlers. Here are a couple pics, hoping they finally lose them at my feed site on the wire I have set up to try to knock them off as they feed. |

| Setting up that wire is clever. Let us know if it works. |

Rookie,
Did you have any luck collecting antlers? I attached a pic of matching set
found south of Ottawa KS a few weeks ago. Thats my hunting buddy in the pic. Theres a total of 13 points and he's still out there. BTW we both live in Olathe so you are pretty close. |

Those are in great shape for finding them this late. What a find :thumbsup1: , and to have both sides is a bonus.
I found one couple months ago that the mice and squirrels had had started on, but was a nice shed. Great to know those big boys are in the area :yes:
I see you're in Olathe, I'm just west of you around Lawrence. |

Redrider,
They are nice, the kid that found them did not say what month and we did not think to ask. Dan (in pic) is a taxidermist, he bought them from the guy and plans to mount them on a cape. We went turkey hunting, stopped at a farm to buy eggs and there they were hanging on the side of the barn. That is a really nice antler in your pic. Too bad it got chewed up. BTW we are happy about the changes in deer hunting regs. In the past we bowhunted only. Now we can do it all which brings my flintlock longrifle into play. I got a 10 pt with an arrow last year. |

I think the regulation changes are great. I won't be using a muzzleloader, but I may bowhunt earlier and if I don't take the big one with the bow, I may break out the rifle and take a buck. In the past, I've taken does during rifle season as I like to hunt with a rifle too.
Also, I get invitations from people to come hunt with them but I couldn't accept because they weren't in my unit, but now I can hunt statewide so the options are open. |

| Today I placed a trailcam over a lick about 10 yds from where that kid found the aforementioned antlers. It's in a wooded creekbottom near his home. Will check it in a few weeks. :) |

A little off subject, but two questions.............................
1. Are mineral/salt licks legal to hunt over like bait?
2. Does your buddy have a taxidermy business locally and if so what is the name of it in case I ever get my first buck and I want it mounted?
Thanks..................... |

| Baiting to include salt and mineral licks is legal in KS for hunting. Dan Snowbarger is my Taxidermist hunting buddy. He is a retired minister and has done one buck and a turkey with 5 beards for me. He is on vacation and will be back in a few days. You can reach him at 913-390-5632 in Olathe. That's a nice pair of "horns" there. |

| Forgot to add that deer pretty much stop using mineral licks by September. They are great to get summer pics though because you don't get so many 'coons, 'possums and groundhogs on your camera. |
