re: Kansas Bow hunt for one buck and one doe.

First two weeks of November are money. They say that after thanksgiving is good too. There is a period inbetween when they go into "lockdown". They will pair up with a doe and just stay with her and breed her for a couple days. They will stay in a wide arse open field. You can see them driving around, but they aren't moving and you can't call them. They have what they want and aren't leaving it for anything.

I've bow hunted west Kansas. It's wide open corn fields for as far as the eye can see. The deer are pretty much dumb compared to around here because of the lack of pressure. I've bleated several bucks to within 5 yards of me on the ground, it's unreal. But 50 acres isn't a lot unless it's a known travel route. I would try and get the farmer to throw out a couple piles of corn for you. It will get them passing through that area for sure.
