Anybody else putting in for this year. I put mine in yesterday and have a trip scheduled for the week of Halloween if the stars align. My brother and I are putting in as a group draw for the trip. First time putting in, so fingers crossed.

Good luck!
I’m sitting out this year. I’m leaving for a Manitoba bear hunt next month and a limited draw (with some luck) elk hunt this fall.

I should be able to draw Iowa next year so likely will be 2024 before I plan to try to get back to Kansas

I can't wait to read your stories about your trip. Always enjoy living hunts through them. Best of luck and stay safe!

Thanks fedguy2007. I haven’t thought too much about doing daily updates on the bear hunt; but I don’t see why not.

Are you and your buddy’s going with an outfitter or perhaps going on public?

Can be very hot or very cold and windy that week. Your sort of pre-rut that week. Most of Kansas the rut is really kicked in about November 7th through 14th as a general rule. It’s like a switch gets turned on

We'll be going with a outfitter in Haddam, KS. We'll be there Oct 31 - Nov 6 if we draw.

Son and I are in the draw for WY elk unit 100. Applied individually with max pref pts. Still gonna take some luck for either to draw. DIY, if drawn. Good luck with your draw.

Apps in, fingers crossed. We’ll be shooting for the second week of November.

Me and 2 friends put in to hunt south central KS near Anthony. Hunting private cattle farm. Plan to do gun season which is first week of December.

Well--2 out of the 3 of us got drawn.

Congrats! While I don't know much about the odds of the gun draw, two of three being drawn seems like a real odds beater! I honestly don't know anyone that got drawn in the archery season of the friends that I know have that put in.
