Summary

In this episode, Dan Johnson interviews Brett Konen about hunting in Kansas. They discuss the expectations for hunting in Kansas, the impact of the recent public land cell camera ban, the increasing cost of hunting land, and the best time to hunt in Kansas. They also talk about terrain features, access to private and public land, and the effectiveness of calling and rattling during the rut. Takeaways: Kansas offers the opportunity to hunt four to five-year-old bucks, with the potential for 140-150 class deer. The hunting community in Kansas has been affected by the recent public land cell camera ban, especially for out-of-state hunters. The cost of hunting land in Kansas is increasing, making it more challenging for the average hunter to afford. The best time to hunt in Kansas is the last week of October and the first week of November, with the peak of the rut around November 15th. Terrain features to look for include pinch points between grass and agriculture, areas with water sources, and overlooked spots with cover. Access to private land in Kansas is limited, and getting permission can be challenging. Driving the roads to scout and finding areas away from population centers can help avoid hunting pressure on public land. The best time for calling and rattling in Kansas is from the 23rd of October to early December. South Kansas offers more hunting opportunities and higher deer density compared to North Kansas. Hunting in Kansas can be a fun and exciting experience, especially for those who have not hunted there before.
