I own a tree service and meet a lot of people from all walks of life. Work for some very wealthy summer residents that come up from Florida to get away from the heat. I love to hunt and trap and I'll usually mention that sometime during my conversation with customers(some like it some don't). Yesterday I got a call for an estimate and noticed it was a Kansas phone number, so when I was speaking to him about his trees and ask him if he ever hunted in Kansas. And the response I got was not what I expected. He begin to tell me that he and his sister owned 1100 acres in Southeast Kansas, and it had a house on it and I was welcome to go out and hunt it anytime I wanted, said it'd only been hunted a few times in the past several years by a father and son he took out there. Said there wouldn't be another soul on it this season. Before I was done he was sending me topo maps of the property and everything. There are still good people around that are willing to let people hunt and this guy is one of them. It's a long way from Tenn, but I may have to make a trip to Kansas. The property is in Elk and Chautaugua counties, is anyone familiar with that area. Thanks

SE Kansas is loaded with deer. I travel down there and flathead fish a place or two during the summer. Lots of Deer like up home here and good ones I'd suppose.

Sounds too good to be true... I'd take a trip out there and check it out before wasting too much time on preparations..

Decent area for deer and coyotes. Coyotes are not good colored. Some cats I'm sure. A few quail no pheasants.

Yea, I love to hunt for big bucks and have always wanted to take a trip to Kansas. Golf ball I'm not sure if I will be able to make it in November this year or not. I'm going back to southern Illinios again this year and I have a place in southern Ohio that I go too already, so the wife would probably kill me if I plan another trip during that time. Lol. May have to go early or late season. It's in Independence township where the house and 550 acres is which is Chautaugua county and the 600 acre tract is in Elk county.

No doubt would be a great trip for trapping especially ! I have a buddy that’s been out a few times and really liked the easy coyotes . I may try and get him to go since he already has connections.
RM I plan to make this an annual event , might take a year or two to work out all the kinks but it sounds like a good place to go .

He said I was more than welcome to trap while out there. Going to have to check the trapping regs for nonresident. Like to snag a few mid western yotes while there hunting

Lucky duck! If pcr2 will pick me up on the way west, we can carpool. I make a mean breakfast man. grin

Take advantage of the opportunity RM!


I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

Nobody that he knows of..........He might be surprised. The locals surely knows he's not around.
Kansas is well known for having some dandy whitetail bucks!

RM - Would you be hunting archery or firearms? I live/hunt in Northeast Kansas and see more bigger bucks in December than any other time. If rifle hunting then you’d be hunting here in December which in my area coincides with the secondary rut. I’ll sometimes have 2-3 big bucks plus a couple young bucks chasing a single doe during this period.

Really nice country. I haven't hunted there in about 15 years and didnt see a whole lot of deer on the public ground. We did see some absolute giants. You will have a blast. Bring lock on stands as the trees aren't straight enough for climbers. Lots of coyotes and I saw 7 Bobcats in 10 days, but couldn't shoot the cats. Good luck to you I am jealous!

Yea Gary there's always someone sneaking on every property, but his brother who is an ex-marine lives on the property and he said he was pretty good at watching the property. Sounds good but I'll just have to check it out myself. Railroader I'd probably be hunting December. He said that most places it was tough to get close shots and there was always deer in the big hayfields so I'd say it would definitely be best to rifle hunt
