This outfitter offers a personalized service in creating a great archery mule deer hunt that occurs in Southwest Kansas. This is a family run operation, and they focus on each individual hunter, to give you the highest-quality hunting experience. This outfitter provides a successful trophy deer hunt that is a low pressure environment in an area with awesome genetics, great habitat and abundant nutritious/food. They have the right conditions on their ranch to make a trophy hunt of a lifetime. The vast amount of irrigated farmland and sagebrush covered sand hills creates some of the most unique habitat for Whitetail Deer and Mule Deer.
To best meet your needs, they offer fully-guided hunting in Kansas for mule deer, whitetail, antelope, and upland game. Pursuing mule deer bucks by spotting and stalking is one of their favorite hunts. In the unique area of the sand-hills of Southwest Kansas, they provide this management mule deer hunt for half of what a trophy mule deer hunt costs. Some of these high desert sand-hills bucks get big and old, and unfortunately remain old battle-ax bucks that don't quite grow into genetically superior deer. Trophy hunters pass on them year after year, and that's where the management hunts come into play.
For $7,500 hunters that draw the mule deer tag in Kansas have the opportunity to hunt these old mature bucks. And in the event that a big whitetail buck presents an opportunity, hunters have the option to harvest one for no additional fee. Note that it's important to know that you can only shoot either a mule deer or a whitetail. All hunts take place on thousands of acres of private ranch land, with the majority of the hunting on our family-owned ranches. This allows us to manage our wildlife to create the best environment for your hunting experience.
Kansas is known for its expansive prairie landscape, and while it may not be the typical habitat for whitetail deer, they can still be found in these areas, especially where grasslands meet wooded areas or water sources. Hunting in open grasslands requires different tactics, such as spot-and-stalk or glassing from elevated positions. Fencerows, hedgerows, and brushy areas between fields can act as travel corridors and bedding sites for deer. These areas provide cover and security for deer, making them prime locations for hunting, especially during the early morning and late afternoon hours.
This sand-hills region often contains fertile soil, which supports a variety of vegetation that whitetail deer feed on. Crop fields, including corn, soybeans, and alfalfa, are common in this area and provide abundant food sources for deer throughout the year. While the sand-hills terrain may appear relatively open, there are often pockets of dense vegetation, shelter belts, and creek bottoms that provide cover and habitat diversity for whitetail deer. These areas offer bedding sites, escape cover, and travel corridors, making them attractive to deer and providing ample hunting opportunities.
During the rut, or breeding season, which typically occurs in the fall, mule deer become more active and visible as they seek out does. The sand-hills provide ideal habitat for rutting activity, including dense cover for bedding and open areas for displaying rutting behaviors such as scraping and rubbing. This can make for exciting hunting experiences as bucks become more active and visible during daylight hours. Compared to more heavily hunted areas, the sand-hills have less hunting pressure, particularly on private land. This can lead to deer that are less wary and more likely to move during daylight hours, increasing the chances of success.
Hunters may find success by hunting in tree stands or ground/box blinds, particularly during the rut when deer are more active. Creeks, rivers, and other water sources create riparian zones with dense vegetation and cover. Deer frequent these areas for water, especially during dry periods, and they can provide excellent hunting opportunities. Stalking or still-hunting along these waterways can be effective, as can setting up ambush points near well-used trails. This outfitter likes to use mobile blinds so as the deer patterns shift, he can as well.
