In late October Keith Beam with Primos Double Bull and I headed down
to Norton, Kansas to hunt with his cousin Mark Beam
who owns and operates Beamer's Guides and Outfitters.
Our goal was to harvest a mature whitetail out of a Double Bull blind over
Primos's new whitetail decoy "Scarface".
On our first day out scouting we spotted a 150 inch 8 point and we knew
we wanted to be in this area.  Our first 4 sits we spotted a number of deer
both does and small bucks but nothing that you come to Kansas for.
So Keith and I decided to do a little recon mission to find where the big boys
were hanging out.  With a lot of standing corn in the fields we knew we needed
to stay close to them to catch a mature buck cruising for hot does.
We found a perfect crossing point in between two corn fields that were 80 yards
apart separated by a creek.  We backed the blind up against a large cottonwood
tree and would come back to it when we had the perfect wind to hunt it.
The next morning we had a perfect wind so Keith and I set up "Scarface" 15 yards
from the blind facing us and we jumped in the blind.
It didn't take long and we spotted a decent buck cruising the field edge but he never
gave us a shot opportunity and disappeared into the corn.
About 9am. I looked up and spotted a monster walking through the corn field
heading our way.  I said to Keith "a monster is coming"!
This Kansas bruiser walked out of the corn, jumped the fence and stopped broadside
at 35 yards giving Keith a perfect shot.  Keith let an arrow fly putting it right through
the pump station of the Kansas monster!  He ran off 30 yards and expired, giving
Keith his biggest buck to date.  It was also the first video kill for Primos over their new
decoy "Scarface".

We left Kansas and headed north 50 miles to Nebraska to hunt with a good 
friend of Keith's on the Republican river.  With the rut coming into full swing we
were excited about our chances of bagging another big buck.
The afternoon we arrived we went out and set up the blind near some thick
cover where the bucks would be cruising and scent checking for does.
Keith told me "if we get any kind of a west wind we'll fill our tag".
The next morning we had a west wind and things were looking good for us
to fill our tag.  As the sun started to crest we saw a big buck cruising and
Keith gave him a "snort wheeze" and he locked into our decoy and headed over.
Our setup was perfect!  The buck walked to the right of the blind 25 yards
away and started to shred a tree with his antlers.  After taking his aggression
out on the tree he walked right into our decoys and stood right behind it a 18 yards.
He made his fatal mistake when he stepped out behind scarface and Keith
let his new Fred Bear Dark Horse bow eat!  Finding the ten ring once again
the bruiser ran off 80 yards and tipped over!  We decided to sit in the blind
for another hour and a half and had 6 other bucks within 15 yards of our blind.
One buck was bigger then the one Keith just shot but unfortunately Keith had
only bought one tag and all we could do is video and watch this monster
grunt and snort wheeze at our decoys.
Our week long trip through Kansas and Nebraska was spectacular and very
successful for both Keith, Primos, and myself.
When the rut is on there is nothing more exciting then hunting for monster whitetails.
