Hail to a fellow FlatLander, what part KS. Are you coming from?

[Yurikn]

Welcome!!! I'm from the Junction area.

The place to buy a gun (maybe not the best, but the cheapest) is A-Pawn in the 400 block of Pitkin. (Pitkin goes to Palisade and also Pitkin County, Ute goes to Utah).

He possibly sales more guns than any other store in the state...but be prepared to wait. If you don't see it, ASK, he probably has it upstairs.

He doesn't offer any service...to speak of. But, he does mount scopes and will custom order all sorts of stuff (if you need an odd thing ordered, go to Jerry's Outdoor Sports) and his lay-away plan is...one payment a month...that is it, those are the terms (and man have I bought some guns of that plan).

What part of KS? I'll trade the GPS Coordinates on where I've never seen elk, or deer (most everywhere that I've hunted) for the prime KS whitetail locations.

Welcome aboard.

Ha, I'm not really a hunter, more of a competitive shooter and plinker, but I can tell you that most of the big deer, like the deer you rarely ever see but find the huge antler racks while on a hike, all reside on private property, as they usually know where people hunt for them. I am from a 50 acre farm area, huge deer population, about 1 mile away some people own over 200 acres and hunt for deer there, but they won't find the big ones, because our property has them all because we don't hunt them, so I would say get in good with a friend who has some property there that hasn't really hunted on it but doesn't mind if you do, if you want to take down the big ones, that isn't to say you can't find them on occasion, but they are more prevalent on private land where they aren't hunted.

Thanks for the information, I was searching for places to buy guns and stuff on google and saw Jerry's, I usually stray away from pawn shops as they usually have nothing I would want, so it is good to know that that one is good as I probably wouldn't have looked otherwise.

Small town, it's about 35 minutes from Overland Park/Olathe, and about 45min/1 hour from Kansas City. Pretty close to Hillsdale Lake, if you have ever heard of it.

Yes sir,
Lived in Olathe for a long while, and made my way all around the area on both sides of the KS, MO state line.
I used to do a lot of shootin up around DeSoto at the Mill Creek range.

Awesome, I went to school at KU so I had been living in Lawrence for the past 4 years, but I'm glad to be in Colorado, I think I was pretty lucky to end up with this location, definitely my top pick.
