Hi, My Name is Brent ( From Michigan ) and I'm looking to go Whitetail hunting in 2020. I'm looking for whitetail 150" and up, this would more than likely be through an outfitter ( 2 hunters ). The states that I'm interested the most are Kentucky, Kansas, Minnesota and Wisconsin. We Would probably steer toward rifle hunting. Do any of you know some really good outfitters that kill big deer every year?
WE are in pretty good shape and don't mind working hard to have a chance at a large Whitetail. We really don't want to hunt areas that have been over hunted like some of the big outfitters do.

Please let me know your thoughts and suggestions?

Thanks,
Brent

I can't help you, but I wish you luck in your quest.

$5-$6000 I can guarantee you a 150".

if you don't mind hunting in a fence

Thanks! We are going back to Saskatchewan this year and I think in 2 years we want to go somewhere in the lower 48 states.

^ where are you from? I believe it is a requirement here to show your home/location.

Anywhere North of the Missouri River. 150 inch deer get passed on around here.

I'm from Vestaburg, Michigan. Roughly the center of the mitten.

Road kill here before I cut the horns off for the GFP. Had a lot of nice deer in past years but blue tongue has hit them twice in the last several years and they just keep raising the price of a tag anyways.

I have some friends that have 10,000 acres leased in northeast Kentucky, and they kill 140"-155" deer every year. They are always looking to get a couple more guys on the lease at $1500/person. They all go up and camp for rifle season and usually everyone gets a nice buck. I went for a couple years before I got the farm in Illinois. Good hunting for the money but its rough mountain land with no fields or agriculture. They only take 10 people on the lease so its not over crowded

What the heck! Lol, deer hunts go for $1900-$2400 here.

Look up Wheelers Whitetails Mound City Kansas. I have Trapped his leases several times when he has trouble with yotes or coon

Guys, Thanks for the info. and recommendations. Please keep them coming.

Bluedog, Snowy was trying to give you a subtle hint. Forum rules require that you put your location in your profile so it shows with your posts. Note all the responses have "Loc:" included under their number of posts.

Thanks. Your hunt is out a few years but I would start with Iowa. Good luck!

Needs to be posted under your name.
And, It doesn't matter how you cook it, you can't eat the rack.

North Western Kansas would be a good area to look...I know of some locals that head there every year and do quite well during the post rut around thanksgiving, archery season....basically they wait for harvesting of crops, once down not many areas for them to hide except in the thick brushy draws or watersheds....I haven't made it out there yet but it would be my first choice....

If your a DIY type hunter you can get plenty of hunts in for cheap, may take a couple seasons to round up a few farms,
the locals started out hunting walk on property and did quite well, after out there they added to their hunting property...

Just a thought....

If you think you might try and do a DIY type hunt in the near future make sure you get a couple preference points so when you want to go you get a draw....

If your a decent hunter I see no reason to hire a guide to hunt whitetail...I've fallen on my face several times chasing whitetails out of state on DIY hunts but I'd never wish I would have hired a guide....just my own opinion....

We don’t need to go down that road again, there’s trophy hunters and meat hunters. To each their own, the challenge is in trophy bucks why would anyone go to another state to shoot a doe?

Hickory creek outfitters in southeast kansas. I mount several deer for them each year. They are great people and kill big deer.

I will be happy to add my location, but I'm quite sure how to do that?
