You are in for a super fun, super frustrating hunt! Lots of antelope and some great tanks still available on public or accessible land. For archery I’d definitely advise focusing on water and get yourself a good battery powered fan because it is like sitting in an oven that time of year in a ground blind. decoys can work but it’s about 50/50 in my experience. If you use one don’t walk straight at them. Walk at a 45 degree angle then switch directions doing the same. Sounds like you’ve done some great research, but I have helped on hunts up there a lot over the years so shoot me a message if you have any questions.

I have archery hunted Kansas for 15 years and Midwest most my life. I will tell you most definitely rubber boots are excellent for controlling scent on your way in and out. Of course choosing your route and stand location based on the wind is key to success but having the ability to tuck your pants into a boot just under the knee and spraying a scent killer on them once you have put them on is huge! Plus they help with ticks depending on time of year and the vegetation always has heavy dew in the morning and rubber boots keep you dry and warm. Good luck 👊

Gents, I have a pile of browns to part with. All super cool red stags. Anyone buying? Be great for decor or dog chews. I built a killer chandelier for our cabin with some and lots left over.

I am only the camera guy on this one. My buddy Howard and his son Todd have the tags. I am blown away by the cost of these hunts now…they have skyrocketed 😬

Myself and 2 buddies decided to go rim to rim last weekend in preparation for Alaska Dall and Grizzly hunt. Weather was perfect and we did the 22 miles in 11 hours. My buddy Howard is 70 years old and crushed it. We went South Kaibab to North Kaibab. Absolutely recommend this hike!

Bro, you’re in a constant state of sugar euphoria 😂😂😂

As they say muscles are made in the gym…abs in the kitchen. Meal prepping is king when trying to drop fat and retain muscle. This cost about $8 if you have some lean venison steak. It is the perfect recipe for those less than choice cuts of meat. Makes 6 servings at 580 calories 48g protein 70g carbs 30g fat Ingredients: 2 1/2 lbs lean venison 5 cups white rice 4 cups frozen vegetables 6 eggs 1/4 cup soy sauce 2 tbs olive oil 5 tsp sesame oil 5 tbs oyster sauce salt and pepper to taste 2 garlic cloves Enjoy gents 👊💪

SIX, here’s a teaser to get you fired up! This was the years you could run cameras and some bulls I had hunters on in 6a. Unfortunately, out of 3 guys only one wrapped his tag. The other 2 both had great shot opportunities and caved under pressure. This bull I watched most the summer in 2019 and first week of September he moved 4 miles south. Called him in and guy from New York missed him twice under 40 yards 😫😫 Had 9 bulls on this water at once! This tank was deadly when it could hold water into September which was always hit or miss. Sick Bull we named jigsaw. Never could turn him up after he shed velvet. Buddy from Michigan missed a chip shot on this bull…Bull rattled him bad

SIX, Congrats on the tag and welcome! It is a super fun hunt and a ton of elk in there. It is a popular unit for outdoor enthusiasts in addition to the tag holders so you will see people. The elk are used to it and just move around the pressure. Can certainly affect their vocalization but they will still be bugling. They will water daily! Early in the hunt the bulls will be hitting these often to piss in the mud and roll in it to cover themselves with as much scent as possible to attract ladies. Water is boring to sit but super deadly!! Shoot me a message and I will give you a couple spots to start in.

😂my kryptonite…my 15 year old kills that pan before I can get to it..thankfully

Gents, tags are out and time to get moving 💪!!! I’m 48 and 6’0” 212 lbs currently sitting at 14% body fat. This is my winter post hunting season sweet spot. Don’t have to be ridiculous with food scrubbing but I do stay within reason and work out 4-6 times a week. I always try to put on some muscle mass during that time. This is time of year I like to get serious. Set macro goals, lift heavy and often, prioritize leg training, and drop about 6-8 lbs to get to 10-11 % Body fat. I do limited cardio as I feel weight training keeps that in line. Only cardio I do is stair climber primarily so I can still eat more and drop fat. I see many of my overweight, out of shape peers at my age complaining about knees, backs, trouble sleeping, etc! They choose their activities based on their condition and miss so many awesome opportunities…sad. I feel grateful to have awesome mentors that push me and motivate me as I am just your average guy. Our circle definitely defines us for sure! Have a killer week all…it’s almost time to scoop some sheds 👊👊👊
