Hunting in KS isn't real hard once you find the deer. I always had really good luck hunting the wooded draws during the rut mid-day. The hardest part for me hunting out there was learning how to hunt semi-flat very little trees terrain. The two best options are lock-on stand or a blind. Climbers do work however it is hard to find a straight tree where you need it. Calls and scents work out like no place I have ever seen. If you have or can find a contact out there don't go until they start seeing deer killed on the roads. Once you hear the deer are getting ran over get there and get there quick. You will not go wrong with the dates of Halloween to about 14 Nov.
