Hunt both whitetail and mule deer @ Ackerman Farms!
The north parcels are in Deer Management Unit 1, and the south parcels are in Deer Management Unit 2. 
Standing on the high plains of Western Kansas, Ackerman Farms features multiple parcels which straddle both sides of I-70. The farm also represents two game management units.&nbsp;
The farm's 1,100 acres consist of mostly draws through farm fields and fence lines with shelterbelts scattered throughout.
Lodging is not yet offered on the property; however, the property is just south of Brewster, which is conveniently located right in the middle of Goodland and Colby. Lodging, grocery stores, and local restaurants can all be found in both towns.

Rifle Whitetail/Mule Deer Hunt- Acreage in Units 1 & 2

We have healthy numbers of mule deer on the property with some awesome bucks ready to be taken!
Our farm is located in Rawlins County, Kansas, and is a great destination to experience the High Plains in the northwestern part of the state. We have 2,600 acres consisting of varied terrain from ag pasture and rolling hills to ravines and wooded creekbottoms.&nbsp;
There is also a pond on the property with crappie, catfish, and largemouth bass, which is perfect for a day or two of catch-and-release fishing.
Campers and RVers are invited to set up on the property for an overnight stay or simply stay in a nearby hotel.

Buck and Bird Hunting

High Plains Mule Deer Buck Hunt in Kansas Unit 1

Mule deer tend to favor the more open grassland and rolling terrain away from the heavier creek cover. They often move between bedding areas and feeding zones with good visibility, making spot-and-stalk or glassing strategies effective. Transition areas between grass and crop ground are key locations to watch.
We have a total of 1250 acres of farm and grassland. With half a mile of both the Sappa and Prairie Dog Creeks. Both creeks have live running water.
NOTE: Both of our creekbottom parcels are about 30 minutes from each other. Proximity is close enough to be reasonable, but far enough away to have better luck if one parcel isn't producing that day.
Our farmhouse boasts 3 bedrooms, each furnished with a queen bed for a restful night. There are living rooms on the main floor and basement with pull-out queen sleeper sofas. Each living room has furniture for your whole group to spread out and have their own space. The walk-out basement has views of the creek and access to outdoor activities. There is a bathroom on each level. For those not wanting to fully unplug, there is 1GB fiber internet with WIFI for a working getaway!
$110 per night up to 2 guests. $50 per person per night for each additional guest. Weekly and monthly discounts available. Message for pricing.
Grill out or cook in! Fully equipped kitchen for your own cooking/entertaining. There is a walk-out deck from the dining room for outdoor eating/entertainment.
Prairie Dog Creek is located at the rear of the home. This property has amazing outdoor experiences. There is a view of the Creek and wildlife from the rear deck. Hike down to the creek for closer look at the water and wildlife.
Bring your ATV and trail ride around the creek and the extended property.

Little House on the Prairie Dog

Unit 1 Mule Deer Buck Hunt | Northwest KS Ag + Grasslands

Archery Only.
We have a few great-looking bucks that may be gone by the time rifle season starts. We are offering this special package for a discounted rate for pre-rifle. Usually, the price is $100 per person per day for a minimum of two sportsmen ($200 total). This discounted package is $75 per person per day for a minimum of two sportsmen ($150 total).
This would be an excellent package for an experienced bowhunter, as this will be mostly spot and stalk hunting. We would not recommend it for novice hunters.&nbsp;
Our agricultural fields provide great cover for mule deer. However, once we harvest (around mid-October), the spotting and stalking become much more difficult.&nbsp;
We request a minimum of two sportsmen for bookings.
Limited use of an ATV is allowed on this special only. Wildlife ground blinds are accepted.

Weeden Farms | Homestead

 Unit 1 Archery Mule Deer Hunt - Pre-Rifle Availability

Mule deer are commonly found in the ranch's rolling hills and areas between our CRP and croplands, while whitetails are seen more often near the river, creeks and fields edges.&nbsp;
Eight tree stands are located on the property, and hunters are more than welcome to bring their own blinds. Rifle hunters typically have the best chances of success with plenty of spots to set up for a shot.
Ranch is all contiguous ground. We have a mile riverbottom on Solomon River, with other small creekbottoms and livestock tanks. We have about 350 acres of CRP and 500-600 acres of farm ground that provide food. Our Triticale fields are grazed in the Spring, but the stubble is year round source of food.
We don't have any on-site lodging or camping availability; however, there are some decent Airbnbs in Morland (~8 miles away) and Penokee (~13 miles away).
Fishing is also available in ranch ponds, offering bluegill and sunfish for guests looking to round out their trip.
ATV use, camping access, and predator hunting available upon special request.
