Iron Gate Lodge operates in Unit 11 and manages several different hunting areas covering more than 3,000 acres in Southeastern Kansas, 100% fair chase. Our stands consist of mostly 15’ ladder stands, but, we also have tripods, ground blinds, and shooting houses. With over forty Deer Stands preset and the ability to pop up a blind at any time, we can move around to and find the deer movements to match the conditions.
You will arrive the afternoon before and leave out the morning after your scheduled hunt dates. We provide all meals, lodging, and transportation around the hunting areas. You are responsible for your deer tag and hunting license. The Kansas Deer Tag Application Deadline is typically in late April (we will help you apply when the time comes.) All of our hunts are the same price regardless of seasons. Every time you go afield you have a chance to kill that buck of a lifetime and there are no additional trophy fees. We free range, fair chase hunts providing you with an opportunity in some of the best farms in the Midwest.
A Trophy is in the eye of the beholder and we will honor your harvest respectfully, however, we strive to harvest only mature bucks (3.5 years.) We have taken 3.5 years old deer at 175" B&C and 4.5 years old 198" B&C bucks. We have also harvested 6.5 years old 105" bucks.
