Kansas whitetail deer bowhunting brings to the deer hunter another chance to see new ground without the costs of having to seek out, find, secure and then deer hunt as MAHA does the work and the hunter simply goes bowhunting.
Turkey BonusDepending on the region of the state, the Kansas archery hunter can have up to 4 over the counter purchase fall turkey tags with the Kansas archery deer and fall turkey seasons overlapping. Our large populations of the eastern and Kansas Rio Grande Turkey make harvesting an early fall bird (either sex is legal) for thanksgiving dinner a very likely prospect. What this turkey hunting option provides the Kansas deer hunter is diversion from the hours that must be put on deer stand to get that one chance to see a true trophy. We will never say that deer hunters will tag out or even have shot opportunities on any hunt, however most will tell you they have seen a trophy Kansas deer. Breaking the hours down between seeing a trophy whitetail deer with a fall turkey may be all the little extra motivation event required to stand in the tree for another day longer. Overlapping SeasonsThe Kansas archery deer season does overlap with Iowa and Missouri season and
with Missouri’s bowhunting tags available for over the counter purchase at any
time. Missouri's deer tags system allows a successful Kansas archery
deer bow hunter the option of
crossing state lines and continue his deer hunting. And, Missouri
with its 2 whitetail deer either sex per archery tag and 4 point one side restriction
zone may give the deer hunter
another set of options for those years he does not draw a Kansas or
Iowa archery deer tag. Hunting & Habitat
When planning an archery deer trip the early October season has sufficient foliage to force stands lower than desired and the increasing cooler fall temperature warm compared to most northern states. By November the woods are wide open and the best bowhunting shooting conditions exist. December hunts are largely successful for the northern whitetail hunter as they have the clothing to remain in the stand. Our southern hunters frequently find the cold and damp discomforting and simply move about too much.
OptionKansas is one more bowhunting option available to the MAHA self guided deer hunter and with our one cost for all approach to paid land access this leaves the hunter with too many options. If selecting to concentrate on archery deer season alone we offer archery hunts in three states and seasons starting September 15 through January 15. Far more season days than most will be able to hunt. While this Kansas deer hunting web page covered general bowhunting information further review of the pages below of the links at the upper left provide greater detail specific to our organization.
