HUNT DETAILS:
This outfitters units are some of the best because they also plant numerous food plots catered to Kansas deer every year. The food plots benefit not only whitetail deer, but all other various types of wildlife seen throughout South Central Kansas. Their properties are loaded with alfalfa, winter wheat, corn, soybeans, milo, & other varieties of crops that whitetail deer in Kansas love to browse. These food plots planted, along with the varying terrain that their family farm ground offers, creates a unique one of kind deer hunting setup that is ideal for an avid bow hunter, muzzleloader hunter, or rifle hunter. The consistent production of either irrigated or dry land wheat, corn, soybeans, alfalfa, & grain sorghum allows for not only good genetics for the whitetails, but also allows them to reproduce in abundance, because the environment is such that it allows for them to relocate, after feeding, to thick plum thickets, or to pockets of timber. Most of the terrain is gently rolling hills with some water located near the wildlife.

This outfitter places a strong emphasis on scouting. With the help of trail cameras and consistent year round scouting, they try to create the perfect Kansas deer hunt for you. Trail camera photos, scrapes, rubs, sheds, and trails help them determine the prime spots to place you during your Kansas whitetail hunt. They want to provide the deer hunter the best chance of harvesting a mature Kansas whitetail deer by strategically placing the deer hunter on a good Kansas hunting property with a stand that is suited best for the current wind direction of the day. Many of their stands are placed in a pinch point or a funnel to help increase the chances that the deer hunter harvests a mature Kansas whitetail deer. Hunting pinch points or funnels that the deer frequent does help the deer hunter, but they also place corn out, and feed the deer a 28% protein mixture year around.

Ladder stands are used for bow hunting. Tower blinds are primarily used, however they do have original tree stands to use for rifle, & muzzleloader season. Most of the stands they use a Muddy & Millenium ladderstands, & Muddy Bull or Penthouse tower blinds. No lock on stands will be used. They offer bow (archery) hunts, muzzle loader (black powder hunts) & rifle hunting. Bow (archery) hunting takes place during the whitetail deer pre-rut, rut, and post-rut. They offer a limited number of Kansas deer hunts to ensure you a non-pressured hunting experience. They also encourage the deer hunter to harvest at least one doe after harvesting a whitetail buck on their guided hunting trip. With nothing but small hunting camps your chances to harvest a good whitetail deer on your trip dramatically increases when you purchase a deer hunt with them. Although there is no guarantee that you will harvest an animal, the outfitter is dedicated to giving you the best chance at a mature whitetail deer. 90% of their deer hunters have had the opportunity on a 150 class whitetail deer on their Kansas deer hunting trip.

Hunters can expect to see an abundance of whitetail deer, including multiple bucks scoring over 150 inches. Each year, several deer exceeding the Boone & Crockett measurement standards are observed on the outfitter’s properties. All hunts are conducted in a free-range environment, ensuring the quality and authenticity of the guided deer hunts. Opening day for archery (bow hunting) or muzzleloader season in Kansas is often an extraordinary time for whitetail deer hunting. During this period, bucks have recently shed their velvet, and their testosterone levels remain low, making them more predictable and easier to hunt. The opening week consistently produces Kansas whitetail giants.

The whitetail deer rut in November provides an opportunity for hunters to encounter mature bucks that may not have been previously seen on the property. Another highly productive time for hunting bucks is during the December rifle season. Some hunters prefer opening day, while others favor the second week of rifle season—both of which typically offer exceptional hunting conditions. During this period, unbred does begin reappearing, drawing mature bucks back into the open. Additionally, the increased range of rifle and muzzleloader hunters allows them to capitalize on deer movement between bedding areas. The hunting properties managed by the outfitter features abundant bedding areas, significantly improving the chances of harvesting a trophy whitetail buck.

NOTE: This outfitter prioritizes adherence to Quality Deer Management Association (QDMA) principles. This commitment to proper game management ensures not only the long-term quality of the Kansas whitetail deer population but also the sustainability of all wildlife species available for hunting. To maintain these high standards, bow (archery) hunters are required to harvest a minimum 135-class whitetail deer, while gun hunters (rifle and muzzleloader) must harvest a minimum 140-class whitetail deer during their Kansas deer hunt with the outfitter.
