New rates for bowhunters & muzzleloaders

Years of focus on property & herd management has allowed us to increase our trophy class whitetail opportunities, and therefore, expand our calendar of hunts. Book a bow hunt or muzzleloader hunt for 2012 and receive a discounted rate of $3,500, PLUS an extra day in the blind or stand. That's 6 full days of lodging, meals, and hunting Kansas trophy whitetails on some of the top private ranches in the midwest.

Out-of-state hunters have until the end of April to book your 2012 Kansas whitetail hunt. We can help you with the paperwork and applications for your Kansas deer tag and license, but call soon - 620-563-7679.

2011 Kansas Nonresident Deer Application/Draw Deadline: April 29.

NONRESIDENTS, APPLICATION PERIOD APPROACHING - We can help!

The 2012 Kansas Nonresident Deer Application period begins April 1, 2012 and ends April 29, 2012. In order to successfully manage our trophy whitetail deer population, we put little pressure on our deer and we accept a very limited number of hunters per season.  Book your rifle, bow or muzzleloader hunt soon and we can help you with through the application/draw process. For more information on Kansas resident and nonresident deer hunting regulations and permits, visit the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks Website.

Our properties possess outstanding structure, trees, and blinds for bowhunting. Bowhunters are encouraged to apply and can take advantage of the following:

1. Hunt during the rut. Pre-rut & post-rut if you prefer, but it's to your advantage to get in the woods while the does are hot and bucks are chasing!

2. Hunt around your schedule. Kansas archery season runs from mid September through December 31st, providing numerous opportunities to take one of the whitetail trophy bucks that patrol our properties.

3. Save $500 and get an extra day! Our whitetail bowhunting package is $500 less than a rifle hunt, and you get an extra day (if needed) to take fill your tag.

4. Muzzleloaders too! Although, your seasonal opportunities are less than your fellow bowhunters, you're able to hunt in late September, take advantage of the lesser rate vs. a rifle hunt, and get that extra 6th day to hunt (if needed).

Out-of-state hunters must apply and draw during April. Whatever your weapon of choice, we look forward to hunting with you. Give us a call today - 620-563-7679, and let us assist you through the application process, and get your hunt-of-a-lifetime in the books for the 2012 Kansas deer season.

Welcome to the Flying W...

Southwest Kansas is well known for its excellent pheasant and deer hunting. It's a place where small-town folks still greet you with a friendly smile and a firm handshake. Plains, KS is a farming community located in Meade County, and it's the place we call "home".

We are a small, family-run outfit. Nancy and I started Flying W Pheasant and Whitetail Outfitters when our kids were very young. Today our kids are fully grown, have spouses and kids of their own. We are blessed to have them close to home and part of the Flying W Pheasant Ranch operation.

Growing up being host to hunters, hunting season was just part of a western Kansas farm boys’ childhood. Not only did a young Kansas boy get to experience the thrill of hunting Kansas whitetail and mule deer, they also got to share in the complete experience of hunting season; from Mom having a kitchen full of food to a basement full of hunters, hunting season has always been special.

Looking toward the future in 1989, we could see that if hunters wanted to continue their passion, there would be a need for what we had to offer. Wow, were we right! Through the course of the past 21 years we have been so blessed to meet many wonderful hunters from coast to coast. Sharing the same passion for hunting pheasant and deer, many of our hunts have blossomed into long-term friendships with the same hunters returning year after year.

So check us out and when you have found the hunt that fits you and your buddies best, give us a call. We promise to make this more than just a hunt, you'll have the opportunity to experience hunting the way it was supposed to be and you'll leave repeating the same thing we've heard from so many hunters over the years: “This is what we've been looking for, after so many years, we don’t need to look any further.”
