We are located in Southeast Kansas farm country. Miles of corn, soybeans, milo, wheat, and alfalfa fields provide year-round food sources to produce some of the biggest bucks and highest-quality deer herds in the country. Supplemental feeding is also done during key times to put deer near stand locations.

Hunting is done only on private-owned and managed farms from both quality ground blinds and tree stands. Hunting is done in timber blocks and along creek and river bottoms. Agriculture field edges are also prime set-ups to catch mature bucks feeding and traveling. The early muzzleloader season can be a very good time to find monster bucks in feeding patterns. This can typically be the time to get a true giant Kansas whitetail. Warm weather can cause deer to move only in the early morning hours and right before dark.

Kansas only allows open sights to be used for this early season so practice before you come. Archery season is next and is the top choice of trophy deer hunters. This season is right during peak rut in SE Kansas and you have never seen bucks that like to fight like these do. Rattling and calling during the rut can be a sight to see in my area and getting a trophy book buck into bow range can get the heart going.

The rifle season can also catch the tail end of the first rut and usually get the best part of the secondary rutting activity. Many big bucks are taken during the rifle season with longer shot being able to be made. Colder weather is also sure to have the deer moving good in search of food. Hunting is done from modern ladder stands with padded seats, padded back rests, and shooting rails. Elevated tripod stands with shooting rails and ground blinds are also used. Spending a long day in the stand is your best bet to having a trophy class buck to move your way. Some of our best bucks are taken right around mid-day so staying alert can pay off.
