Kansas Cull Hunt

[Cypress Point]

Tagged out on the third day of the hunt after seeing close to 25 different bucks and 30 does in 5 hunts. Including some good looking younger bucks and passing on a 300lbs 120+" eight point at 15yrds. Saw everything from fighting, to chasing, deer making rubs and scrapes, and coyotes chasing deer. Shot him from a ground blind at 25yrds overlooking a draw. It's an unbelievable feeling to be eye level with such a creature. It took a while to get come to full draw as he tried every trick in the book to catch me making a mistake. Deer weighed 244lbs and green scored 145 1/8. Not 100% sure about the age but an old deer 6+

wow! nice buck! you hunt with an outfitter?

he looks a little stiff...take you a while to find him? how is his tail standing straight up?

[JOHNSON]

Awesome!

Two questions though, how did you get that tail to stand up like that? Is that the new trophy pose?

[SCSwitchback]

Hunted with a buddy who brings in a couple of hunters a year on the side to help manage the herd. Not hard to find him but surprisingly he ran close to 200 yrds after a rage went through both lungs and his heart. Left him hanging for two days before we took pictures.

cull

^^this

that a great buck cheapened by a trying to be cool word.

[Cypress Point]

Never said it wasn't a great buck Sprig but when you are growing 170-180" whitetails at 4.5 years old this is considered a cull. It has nothing to do with trying to be cool. A cull is based on the type of genetics you are trying to build within your herd.

Nice buck

[muddman]

Awesome!

[sprigdog]

you just cheapened it even more....i understand deer and deer in about every state. i know what kansas is capable of. like i said, great buck.

[Highstrung]

Icky

That was a nice buck, and I'm sure you're proud. In no way is that a cull buck, unless they charged you for killing. I agree with Sprig. There is no reason to add a little quip or slang to a great kill. You killed a good buck, and to talk your kill down gives a discredit to him and yourself. Just say it. I know you were damn proud, and I would be.

[GobblerHntr]

I bet 2th would take that kill and call it a booner even if its in his own mind.
