If your trophy hunting then thats a different story, Ive only seen a couple real nice bucks in that area.
Another thing to think about, is if you have your Bowhunters certificate apply for access at shawnee mission park. I never did, but Ive seen some nice ones out at the bow range!! lol
Really the worst walk-in hunting is clustered around the big cities. If you get a chance, and venture out west too! theres some exceptional hunting, even mulies!
That being said, if your in it for the meat and not looking for a giant. Ive had real good luck out at hillsdale and clinton.
Thanks Pheasant hunter, I'd considered looking into getting a bowhunting certificate to hunt in Shawnee Mission Park, or around it, but never got serious about it. The other night I was out at the archery range out at SMP and I had a HUGE 10 pointer walk up within 60 yards of me, they surely have some giants out there. I was thinking of hunting some of the walk-in land up by Seneca KS up by the Nebraska border, I've seen some really big deer up there. In any case I may look into that bow hunter certificate a little harder this year, do you have any detailed info about it?
