Kansas elk 2023

[kansasdad]

This fall has been really tough on archery deer and the elk hunters at Ft Riley, with more than 80% of the training area off limits for almost all time their tags have been valid.

Can be expected with current world events.

Saw this poor guy tonight with junk stuck in his antlers, including what looked like a cow bell (volume up to hear it). Hopefully he sheds early so he doesn’t have to keep enduring that.

Deer hunters lament on Ft Riley Facebook pages:

3 Cows, 2 Bulls, and a calf walk into a Hunter’s shooting lane. What do they say? Sucks to suck. You don’t have tags for us. The saga continues for my first deer.
