The clinton lake area is in what is called Deer Management Unit 19,(somewhat suburban) asare a lotpublic lake areas from the east state line to Topeka area. They have a special early season.
In Southeast KS there is a lot of reclaimed strip pit mined land.
Lots of deer and solitudeif you don't mind rough, thorny, brushy, hunting.
I still think you could get permission from private landowners in that area too.
