Kansas is loaded with hunting opportunities for whitetail deer, mule deer, and pronghorn antelope, with over 300,000 acres of public lands and more than 1 million acres of private land that is open to hunters during the hunting seasons. In addition, Kansas has approximately one-half million acres of professionally managed hunting areas providing private, fee-to-hunt access.

• Whitetail Deer: It is no secret that Kansas produces some of the Midwest’s best Boone & Crockett qualifying whitetails. Kansas deer hunting is by draw only, but if you book two years in advance and get a preference point, you’re typically guaranteed to draw a whitetail tag.
• Pronghorn Antelope: By the late 1800s, pronghorn antelope in Kansas were found only on the western border of the state due to unregulated hunting. In 1964 a pronghorn reintroduction program began in Barber, Comanche, Ellsworth, Saline, Gove, Chase, and Morton counties. The western Kansas reintroductions were successful in most of those areas, and limited hunting seasons have been established.
