IMB Outfitters is also located in South Eastern, Kansas in Unit 11 for whitetail deer.   This is the best Unit for Kansas deer hunts.  It is here we possess over 10,000 acres of prime whitetail habitat that we will hunt for the first time in 2010.  We have searched for over 10 years for premium whitetail ground refusing to run hunts in Kansas unless we picked up ground that truly holds monster bucks and plenty of them. The State of Kansas is re-writing the Boone and Crockett Record Books each year. The State of Kansas has changed the procedure for the purchase of non resident tags. A new lottery system adopted in 2008 has been developed and it is very easy to get a tag with the draw beginning in April. IMB will assist you in getting your tag.  In Unit 11, last year 744 tags were left over, thus this area will make it easy for you to obtain a Kansas deer hunting tag. The new lottery process allows the majority of hunters who wish to hunt Kansas to draw a tag. Kansas ranks as the #4, State in the Nation according to the Pope and Young Record Books for number of entries. 6 of the top 10 Non Typical entries, recorded in the Pope and Young Record Books belong to the State of Kansas . Those entries net scored as follows: 264 1/8, 257, 249 6/8, 246 3/8, 250 6/8 and 245 4/8. Kansas is the greatest location to harvest a true Non Typical Boone and Crockett Buck.  

IMB Owner, Darrin Bradley states, “When we walked the new Kansas ground out this past December I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.  It is truly a trophy hunters dream.  To think the ground has went unhunted for over 7 years that we have obtained there and the first year to hunt it will be with IMB in 2010.

 
In Kansas a non resident may only kill one buck.  The hunter is forced to pick one of 3 seasons.  Earl y Muzzleloader, Archery, or Rifle.  In the event a hunter doesn’t tag out during early muzzleloader he or she may use that muzzleloader tag for the Rifle hunt if he or she uses a muzzleloader during the rifle season.   Of course regular firearms tags are available so one may utilize a rifle as well.  When we walk you through the process of getting your Kansas tag you will need to purchase a habitat stamp, hunt license, and the deer tag.

Firearms Hunts: The State of Kansas allows rifle hunting. The firearms tags are obtained through an April lottery process where almost everyone gets a tag.  In fact in 2009 Unit 11 had tags left over to sell.  Thus getting this tag is simple.  This process is no longer a stringent one with policy changes by Kansas DNR in 2008 which allowed most hunters to draw tags for each season. If your not drawn then non residents build preference points until they are awarded a firearms tag. The lottery application begins in April and the results posted in late July. Costs include $321 application fee. All but $21 will be returned if you’re unsuccessful in the draw. You may also apply for a preference point only. The fee for this act is $20.

Kansas 2010 gun seasons are as follows:  Season 1, Dec. 1 to Dec. 4   Season 2, Dec 9 to Dec 12.

Archery Hunts: Non-resident Archery Tags are obtained through the same system as aforementioned. Like prices and deadlines. Archery dates are Oct. 1 to Dec 31.  IMB Outfitters will walk you the tagging process.

Muzzleloader Hunts: Kansas ffers a muzzleloader only hunt from Sept. 20 to Oct 3. If the hunter doesn’t kill a Kansas buck during the Kansas Muzzleloader Deer Season then he may use that tag during rifle season as long as the hunter uses a muzzleloader.  HUNTERS THAT BOOK AN EARLY SEASON MUZZLELOADER HUNT THAT ARE NOT SUCCESSFUL CAN COME BACK TO HUNT DURING RIFLE SEASON FOR $2750 INSTEAD OF THE $3600 PRICE REGULARLY PRICED TO RIFLE HUNTERS.  Hunters may choose any 3 or 4 days to pursue trophy whitetails with muzzleloader only during these times. The tag is obtained through the same system as all other tags in Kansas.

Hunter Education: Anyone born on or after July 1, 1957 must be certified by an approved course in hunter education before they can hunt in Kansas EXCEPT that anyone 15 years old and under may hunt without hunter education certification PROVIDED that they are under the direct supervision of an adult 18 years old or older. Effective July 1, 2007 individuals 16 or older may purchase a one-time deferral of the hunter Education requirements by purchasing an Apprentice hunting license. Holders of Apprentice hunting licenses must hunt under the supervision of a licensed hunter age 18 or older.
