Southeastern Kansas Trophy Whitetail Hunts

In the past twenty years Kansas has ranked #6 in Boone and Crocket entries right behind Missouri and Kentucky. Kansas is one of the whitetail-hunting world's best-kept secrets and acre for acre Kansas rivals the very best areas around the globe for producing trophy whitetails. The combination of abundant agriculture, age structure and limited pressure make Kansas a haven for trophy whitetails. Assembled here is a collection of intensively managed properties ready for the trophy hunter to reap the benefits of a world class whitetail destination thanks to years of intensive management by the property owner. This is a very low volume operation on 3,000 private acres in Comanche and Ford counties that we don’t consider to be commercial but we do get a couple of premier spots each year for our clients.

Hunting

We can access these from treesstands located in the shelterbelts or from blinds covering the wooded edges. Afternoon hunts are usually in conjunction with large agriculture fields or open grassy areas where deer like to come to feed. These opening can be an incredible place to be situated during the peak of the rut.

Habitat

Much more open than our other properties in neighboring states, the key to high deer densities in this part of the world is water and we are covered up with it. Agriculture fields adjacent to CRP fields or small shelterbelts of trees are the habitat types that we like to key on.

Trophy Expectation

We expect hunters to have a reasonable chance to harvest a 150-class buck but there is always a chance for that buck of a lifetime.

Hunters will be accommodated in a modern ranch house on the property.

Getting there

Hunters can fly into Wichita Kansas where they can pick up a rental car for the 2 hour drive to the property.
