unioncountyslayer Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 Hey guys, wanted to get some input and info on hunting in Kansas. I have been on guided trips to the Milk River, MT as well as One Texas Hunt a few years ago. But I have heard a lot of guys say that "if you want to kill the buck of a lifetime go to Kansas." Is this statement true? What is the average score on a whitetail buck in Kansas? Also a list of reputable guide services would be great. Thanks for any and all info you can provide.

danthehunter Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 Re: Deer Hunting in Kansas??? If you want to kill a buck of a lifetime you need to come to Illinois. Dont get me wrong, Kansas has their share of big bucks too, but Illinois puts out world class deer every single year. If i didnt live in Illinois and wanted to kill a huge deer, i would pick Illinois as my #1 and Iowa as my #2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unioncountyslayer Posted November 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 Re: Deer Hunting in Kansas??? Thanks Dan, my cousin actually flew up to Illinois this morning to hunt through Saturday. Not sure with what outfitter or even where in Ill but a friend of his killed a nice 215 or so class buck earlier in the season. I did hear that it is much easier to draw a tag in Illinois. I believe that Kansas has a lottery but not 100% sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danthehunter Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 Re: Deer Hunting in Kansas??? ya thats very true to, drawing a tag in Illinois is much easier than in KS, and in Iowa it is about impossible. Goodluck with whatever you do, and goodluck to ur cousin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6sixpoint_nobrows Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 Re: Deer Hunting in Kansas??? yeah i would reccamend IL hunter for deer hunting...trust me a lot of big deer here....some say its over hunted but its really not...theres a lot of ppl that really dont know what they are doing so its not really over hunted....like dan said though kansas is pretty good, but i would much rather hunt the HARD timber and the corn bred bucks of Illinois any day!

rockefeller66 Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 Re: Deer Hunting in Kansas or Illinois??? personally i would go to Ill., both spots are great, also depends on how the land is managed that you are hunting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksdeerhunter03 Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 Re: Deer Hunting in Kansas or Illinois??? I am from Kansas, I would love to hunt IL as well. I know personally people that would give a left testi to hunt either state. I think that you wont go wrong either way. Look at the books, both states historically produce HUGE deer. Good Luck!

SaskMan Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 Re: Deer Hunting in Kansas or Illinois??? I know of another place that consistently produces big deer. Mature bucks avg at least 150 in this place, have 300lb bodies. Only i'm not telling where. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest okie Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 Re: Deer Hunting in Kansas or Illinois??? I would go to Kansas but the quality of deer are going to be about the same (big bodies and heavy racks). As for an outfitter try Steve at www.mthide.com I hunted with them 4 years ago and they knock down some monsters every year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
