@yamoon love all big whitetail country!! 12 years straight in ohio and Kentucky.
Missouri,Illinois,Texas,Oklahoma were also great whitetail destinations and will return.

I need to burn up way too many points for Kansas. Just wasting points at this point to keep them….
One more year and will have enough for Iowa archery.

@sureshot375 on it! Thank you!

Don’t know of any outfitters, but I have noticed a sharp decline in hunters on public lands since Covid. Last year opening day I hunted Clay county public land, did not see or hear a single hunter. You might consider public land hunting.

I've got a good friend with a lot of land in KS. I will be hunting with him in a couple years when I retire. Send me a DM with your contact info and I will pass it along to him if he is interested.

I've been leasing land for 20 years or so. It works for me because I've been doing it long enough to be setup. I have a few good friends that help me. If I had a lead on something good I would share it, but I'm looking for another lease myself to replace a long-term lease we lost last year. Leases are hard to come by.

One thing that seems to be true is that there is good deer hunting across the entire state. You don't have to be in the same unit where a bunch of TV guys have a ranch.

In terms of the Hunting we typically try peak of the rut, second week of Nov. My strategy is to pick a spot and stay there. I think an ozonics is a must. I have also had good luck post rut in early December. It seems like a lot of my Kansas buddies kill nice deer around Halloween when bucks are cruising pre-rut.

Also, tags are getting harder to draw. This makes it more difficult in terms of managing leases and hunters.

The largest body whitetail I have ever seen was during a spring turkey hunt, just north of Lyons, KS.
