We are considering applying for the northeast part for a DIY bow hunt this year in November. Just trying to see if any of you have done it and what your thoughts for that particular part of the state are? Thanks

Muzzleloader and modern rifle season can only be described as an invasion of hunter orange. The orange brigade overrun the landscape in waves that roll in/out day after day. I have watched as many as 6 hunters on 80 acres of cut beans or corn. No way would I hunt a WIHA outside archery season. Micah 6:8

I was hoping it wouldn’t be so bad with a bow. And NE kansas seems to have a few options to get away from the traffic.

Unfortunately, the older lady that owns the adjacent property leased to the state as part of Walk-In Kansas Program last year. Could definitely see the difference this past year as the deer seemed more pressured than in the past. There is not a lot of public land around that part of the state except for her piece. It's still an unbelievable experience every year.

It's still an unbelievable experience every year. I’m looking at the first 2 weeks in November. Think that should put me in the rut of some sort.
