Title: Down to one left KS Fall 2011- pics added
Post by: Ray Hammond on March 09, 2011, 12:52:00 PM
Just north of Lawrence KS

Sunday, October 23rd through Saturday, October 29th, 2011

My contacts have hunted this property since 1995. This area of KS has an abundance of 140+ bucks- a very good buck-doe ratio, and is almost all private land in the unit- which is Unit 10.

Historically the draw for bow tags is 100% and we need to apply during the month of April.We get to go in July and set our own stands where we want- ground blinds are OK as well.


If you would like a great deal more info, including photos of deer taken, price (which is very cheap) details on lodging, which is included, and other info, email me at rayhammond01@yahoo.com

But please, serious inquiries only?

It's my belief this same group will want to be going back year after year and making some great memories so think about it hard !!!!!

"Experimental Farm" sounds devious. It is correctly referred to as the Henry Fitch Natural History Reservation and it is only 239 hectares.

It can't be seen from Lenexa either, lol.

Devious? They grow organic alfalfa to feed organicmilk cows

In GA, where I'm from any farm belonging to a state sponsored school we call experimental because they use it for research seed development pestcontrol experiments etc

Not particularly devious to my way of thinkingbut whAteverfloats your boat

Nope no problem at all with foreigners, I have lots of them as friends and enjoy my out of state buddy's very much and invite them to come hunt with me all the time. That's not a problem   ;)

how big is 239 hectares- sounds bigger than 239 acres....isn't a hectare a mile square or someting like that?

Hi Ray,

I sent you a PM, let me know but my buddy and I are very interested.

Thanks.....Tim

Post by: Ray Hammond on March 10, 2011, 10:56:00 AM
I've responded by email, Tim.

There's two slots left, apparently I've got three deposits on their way already.

Thanks everyone.  If you are interested just let me know and I will send you a packet on the place.

There are still two openings, guys.

Some of our KS folks have met the landowner, visited the property, and know its quality.

I visited with the landowners and also some guests they've taken over the years and all responded without hesitation- " this is great deer hunting"

If you've ever wanted to hunt KS but were afraid, this would be a great intro to it.

Also, if you're in on the ground floor, we are going to make it an annual event so you'll have first refusal opportunity at the following year's slots.

OK guys and gals- TWO SPOTS LEFT!!!!!

Somebody's going to regret not jumping on this!!!!

Post by: Ray Hammond on March 17, 2011, 10:10:00 AM
These two spots have to get filled by 4/1

The rush is simple- KS requires you apply for your tag between 4/1 and 4/30

We have to either have the 6 slots booked, or we don't get to go...this is a really solid opportunity at a low price

No worries Ray. I'm just glad you got #6 in time to schedule the hunt. There will be other hunts.

Thanks for letting me know, now I can resume my regularly scheduled programming...
