The three best locations to hunt giant whitetails in North America are western Canada, Iowa, and the great state of Kansas. Of these three, Kansas is probably the easiest and least restrictive when it comes to drawing a tag and booking a hunt. Iowa requires preference points to draw a tag and Canada involves increased travel time and logistics as well as proof of vaccination and a negative COVID test to enter the country. In Kansas, you’re likely to draw the first time you apply, so early booking is essential. And, as a heads-up, the deadline to apply is April 29.
WTA TAGS consultants have been researching outfitters in the Sunflower State since 2004. We know the state well and our clients have taken incredible bucks over the years. To hunters hoping for a giant whitetail, I point out a quote from one of our longest-standing Kansas outfitters. “If you hunt with me three times, you’ll probably take the deer of a lifetime—hopefully it happens the first time.”
That should pique the interest of all whitetail hunters. If so, here are some limited openings you should consider for the 2022 whitetail deer season.
