[QUOTE="$$$$$, post: 875343, member: 3576"] Speaking of Kay County bucks, I got this one a couple miles southwest of Braman (I-35, 6 or 7 miles south of KS line) on the Chickaskia River. 11 point, 188 lbs field dressed. Last night of muzzleloader, 11-1-09, 5:30 pm. He was following three does pretty closely in the trees behind my treestand. I didn't have a shot at the time when I first saw them all. The does then split up and at first it looked as if he was going to follow the one that went out of sight behind me. It made me sick for a few seconds that I wouldn't get a shot. Then all of the sudden, he stopped and bent down and sniffed around at the ground, and decided to follow the doe that went right in front of me. He walked to within ten yards of me looking in my direction most the time making it hard to get the gun shouldered, and for a few seconds he even stared right in my eyes. When he walked behind a tree I got the gun ready and then when he was clear for a shot I "maaaaahd" to stop him. Point blank, 10 yard shot. He ran about 30 yards and dropped. My biggest buck so far, and I'm getting him mounted. My cousin got a Kay County buck, between Braman and Newkirk, opening muzzleloader weekend that weighed 215. The check station said there has been a higher than usual amount of 200+ pounders so far this year. [/QUOTE]
