Duck Wild Waterfowl provides five-day guided deer hunting experiences near Iola, KS for groups of six to eight people, including lodging, meals, and hunting from hang-on stands, ladder stands, and ground blinds in Units 11 and 14.

Guides provide hang-on stands, ladder stands, and ground blinds positioned in strategic locations based on deer movement patterns, food sources, and terrain features in Units 11 and 14.

Hang-on stands are placed in trees along travel corridors where deer move between bedding and feeding areas. Ladder stands offer stable, elevated positions with good visibility over open fields and edges. Ground blinds work well in areas with heavy cover or where tree placement is limited.

Your guide selects the setup that matches current deer activity and your comfort level. Each setup is checked for safety before you hunt. This variety means you can hunt from different vantage points throughout the five days, adapting to changing deer behavior.

Each deer hunting package accommodates six to eight hunters, allowing friends or family to hunt together while staying in the same lodging facility throughout the trip.

Smaller group sizes mean more personalized attention from guides and better access to prime hunting spots. Everyone in your group hunts in close proximity, making it easy to share stories and strategies each evening.

Meals and lodging are included, so your group can relax together between hunts. For groups interested in multiple species, turkey hunting services in Iola, KS are available during spring seasons in the same Units.

Hunts take place in Units 11 and 14, both located in East Central Kansas and known for healthy deer populations and diverse habitat types.

Unit 11 features a mix of timber, agricultural fields, and creek bottoms that provide excellent deer habitat. Unit 14 offers similar terrain with additional grassland and woodland edges. Both Units are managed to support strong buck-to-doe ratios.

Guides rotate hunting locations within these Units based on recent scouting reports and weather conditions. This flexibility ensures you hunt where deer are most active during your stay.

Pack your firearm or bow, valid Kansas hunting license and deer permit, appropriate camouflage or blaze orange clothing, and personal gear like binoculars and a rangefinder.

Kansas regulations require blaze orange during firearms seasons, so check current requirements before your trip. Layered clothing is important because temperatures can vary significantly from early morning to midday. Comfortable boots are essential for walking to and from stands.

All meals and lodging are provided, so you do not need to bring food or camping equipment. This allows you to travel lighter and focus on your hunting gear and personal essentials.

The rolling hills, creek drainages, and patchwork of timber and open fields around Iola create natural funnels and travel corridors that concentrate deer movement during daylight hours.

Creek bottoms provide water and thick cover, while fields offer food sources like leftover crops and browse. These features channel deer into predictable patterns that experienced guides can anticipate.
