As a farmer and deer hunter in central KS I can tell you the deer population is not what it was last year. If you're from out of state be very respectful of private property, i.e. do not hunt or enter the property without permission, written if possible. Although we dislike the damage deer do to our fences and tires we dislike people entering the property owned and farmed by our families for 3 or 4 generations.

Be safe, respectful and good luck.
