Kansas? Ohio? Lets talks about it...

I'd do Ohio, saw some real eye poppers driving across Ohio the last two Augusts. If you can lock up a primo spot to go, that's where I'd head long before KS.

Plus, pretty much try to stay away from Kansas as much as possible anyway.

 

Psssstt. Elk hunt

 

SO...... If you want a change of scenery, then it sounds like you have an answer, as you have already seen Kansas a lot....

 

Youre missin out man... I couldnt imagine only going elk hunting 2 or 3 times for the rest if my life. Id quit deer hunting in a second if I was given a choice between the 2...

 

Don’t dismiss a cheap DIY elk hunt. You may have to hunt harder and not kill as big of bull but man what an experience.

 

I have hunted neither of those two states, but Ohio would be my choice if all things were equal???

 

You hold a grudge? My great grandparents sold 300 acres of farmland in Fort Scott KS the year I was born. I wish I could of talked them out of that

 

Just knowing DWGH from what hes written on MWT I can already tell that he would become ate up with elk. I may do a guided hunt sometime, but I love diy.

But back to your original question.... Both are probably great, but I wouldnt worry about drawing in ks. Either one would be great to take off to during Mo rifle.

 

If you are planning to deer hunt the area of Kansas you used to turkey hunt ,, it gets the he!! Hunted out of the public areas . I have hunted that area twice and it was heavily hunted both during archery and firearms.

 

How about Indiana?no idea on their regulations or public ground. Have heard good things since they went to the one buck rule..

 

Elk hunting and age are not the best combo....get after those elk sooner than later. The decent tags are getting harder to draw each year, when you decide to go in 10 years a nice tag may take another 10 years to draw.

 

That whole area . We we're bow hunting that and a little further west one year ( trying to) . There was a group of hunters from Wisconsin . There were 3 pickups and they had a 16' car trailer loaded with stands. They hung almost all of them. There were hunters from Michigan and Ohio and Arkansas ,,,,,,. Like you we just kept moving West. I guess there have been a few of the states record book bucks killed in that area . That along with quite a few wihas and it attracts alot of us out of staters.

 

If you decide on KS I'd be willing to swap a KS bowhunt for a MO rifle or muzzy hunt. Depending on when you decide to do it I should have nice lodging on site if I can get my arse in gear. I'm in unit 10 though.

 

Don't waste your time, it's on a downhill slide fast.
