Unit 11

Unit 11 is located in the southeastern corner of the state, bordering Missouri and Oklahoma, and is predominantly made up of private lands. The region is home to a large number of whitetail deer, which inhabit a patchwork of farms, pastures, and woodlands on both flat and hilly terrain.

Unit 12

Adjacent to Oklahoma near Sedan, this unit offers a substantial population of whitetail bucks across its extensive mix of woodlands, tallgrass prairie hills, flatlands, and numerous fields and pastures. Hunters who invest time in scouting to understand the travel patterns of the bucks can find success by stand hunting during the early morning and late afternoon. Deer activity peaks significantly during the rut in early November and persists until the start of the rifle season. As the season progresses, focus on identifying where bucks are feeding, and set up ambushes at food sources or along their travel routes between bedding and feeding areas.

Unit 13

Located near the Oklahoma border, south of Wichita, this unit is predominantly private, with limited public hunting access and few walk-in areas available. The terrain is mostly flat or gently rolling, though some steep slopes lead down to rivers. To increase your chances of success, scout before the archery season using trail cameras set up near bait sites, and then hunt promising locations from tree stands. During the muzzleloader season, bucks tend to be less active, but they often form groups and can be patterned as they travel and feed together. Use a high-quality muzzleloader, and once you identify where the bucks are active during daylight, set up your stands ahead of time and exercise patience. Additionally, consider partnering with someone to encourage bucks to move through the dense cover they prefer.
