Muzzleloader deer hunting offers sequential Kansas, Missouri a and Iowa deer seasons allowing for 6 weeks of deer hunting without impact on other deer seasons.

Options

For the muzzleloader hunter Kansas deer season offers a unique opportunity in two regards. The first is the early muzzleloader season that generally falls during the last 2 weeks of September. This is a warm weather, pre rut season where stalking is the most successful hunting method. Far different than during the rut from early October through mid December where the tree stand has been the most effective technique.

The second opportunity is the Kansas modern gun deer season where depending on the tag type the muzzleloader deer hunter may black powder hunt or do so with a modern rifle. This provides in general 20+ days of firearms deer season making vacation day schedule all the easier.

The real advantage to the early Kansas muzzleloader deer hunting season is the opportunity to hunt bachelor group bucks that are lazy, do not move much and are easily pre-season scouted. This allows for more skill rather than the need for much luck as during the peak of the rut when the bucks are running wild. For those that truly want to expand their whitetail adventure, these bachelor group bucks are a different kind of a hunt that most hunters have not experienced.

Further, Kansas deer seasons are offset from Missouri's modern gun and muzzleloader deer seasons and Missouri deer tags are over the counter purchase. Combing the two states and the separate modern and muzzleloader seasons gives up to 8 weeks of whitetail deer season to schedule as many hunts as possible. All of this is for the same cost as within the MAHA approach to paid hunts every hunter may hunt as often as he wants for any game type during any season all for one cost and on private lease land we lease for our exclusive use.

Lloyd R. has been in the Association since 1994 and primarily uses the club for fishing. After seeing so many bucks on the property during the summer months, Lloyd decided to get in on the action and take a poke at muzzleloader deer hunting to put some meat in his freezer, since he enjoys eating all types of wild game. He just picked a spot rather than do any scouting beyond that which occurred during an afternoon of fishing.

Typical result of not putting too much pressure on the hunt, the right habitat and taking what is given to you. Lloyd, congratulations and enjoy the meat.

Iowa muzzleloader deer hunting season offers yet another opportunity to hunt bucks outside of the rut and is a post rut season starting late December and running into January for the non-resident. We assume at this point that Iowa resident deer hunters know about Iowa's split seasons for resident and non-resident deer hunters.

This late post rut Iowa deer season further allows for the same advantages as Kansas' September muzzleloader season in that the hunter may apply more skill at stalking a predictable deer pattern rather than requiring as much luck as skill as during the rut when buck movements are dictated by a doe in season.

Between these two muzzleloader deer seasons in Iowa and Kansas the hunter has basically 4 weeks of whitetail deer hunting field time. Add to this Missouri's muzzleloader deer season in early December and its over the counter deer tag purchase makes the this deer hunting method the most widely spread firearms season a deer hunter has for maximizing his field time.
