In this intense episode of Whitetail Edge, Ben Rising returns to his home away from home—Kansas—for another aggressive, no-food-plot, boots-on-the-ground style hunt. After losing a target buck early to possible EHD, Ben locks in on a giant 180” class deer. But when a gut feeling tells him to hang a stand low in a big tree—and he ignores it—he pays the price as the buck walks by exactly where his instinct told him to be. The episode unfolds with missed opportunities, ground hunting in treetops, and gritty Kansas calling strategies. But perseverance wins at the end of the day. After finally getting a shot on a good Kansas buck, Ben backs out and lets him lay overnight—a decision that proves to be the difference between recovery and regret. ⚡️ Hard lessons.
