Deer Hunts

At Hanke’s Hunts we offer BOW ONLY deer hunts for the die hard bow hunter. By keeping the number of hunters low and the pressure on game light, this allows for optimal success.

The hunting areas consist of wooded draws, natural travel funnels, agricultural fields and food plots. This combined with great deer genetics will guarantee that you have a good hunt.



Turkey Hunts

Our turkey hunts offer a rare opportunity, as the area is home to Easterns, Rios and a hybrid cross of the two. Midwest Kansas boasts a high population of trophy size turkeys, many with 10-inch plus beards and weighing well over 20 pounds.
