Well, I sent almost $340 towards the Midwest yesterday to apply for my Kansas early season muzzleloader unit 11 deer permit.  I’ve got a preference point from last year, so I shouldn’t have any trouble drawing a tag and neither should anybody else from the group we are taking to our lease up in SE Kansas.  This weekend, Kara and I are heading home to spend some quality time with the mothers, but I may also get out the smokepole and start doing some shooting.  I want 200% confidence with that baby when a 150″ whitetail shows up at 80 yards in September.  If you are planning a Kansas non-res hunt for 2008, your application for permit needs to be in by June 2.
