HUNT DETAILS:
Whitetail hunts are fully guided, offering year-round scouting and observation to position hunters as close as possible to a trophy buck. A carefully managed nutrition plan with minerals and feed supports antler growth during critical periods and throughout the hunt. Additionally, hunters benefit from convenient drop-off and pick-up services at their stands.

The whitetail season begins in September with muzzleloader hunts, an ideal time to target velvet bucks still in bachelor groups following summer feeding patterns. As October arrives, the season transitions into archery, leading up to the always thrilling Kansas rut in November. Late November marks the start of a two-week rifle season, extending into December—a period that never lacks excitement. The season concludes with late-season archery hunts through the end of December, when colder temperatures increase the chances of encountering mature bucks, making for an exhilarating final opportunity to harvest a trophy. They kill quality deer each year with an average of 150 inches and enforce a $1,500 fee for any young deer that are killed.

The lodge is always clean upon arrival, and guests can look forward to delicious home-cooked meals served daily, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable stay.

LICENSE INFORMATION:
Kansas uses a true preference point system for whitetail deer tags, meaning hunters with the most points receive permits. No point system exists for mule deer. If you are looking to hunt mule deer, you must submit a mule deer stamp at the time of your whitetail application. However, to be entered in the draw for that stamp, you must first draw a whitetail permit. Huntin’ Fool’s License Application team will help you apply at the time of application.
