We have a few openings for the early muzzle loader season as well as the first week of November (October 31 - November 4) Pre-Rut Archery hunts at Pipe Creek Guide Service. Tags are applied for in April and are 100% draw success. For the archery hunt, this is the only week that we have archery openings and have had great success on this week in past years. Prices for both hunts: $3000.




More info on this hunt: We hunt on 13,000 acres and growing in Ottawa, Saline, and Cloud Counties. This acreage consists of 45 farms. Our properties include rolling terrain and are located along creek and river bottoms, with an abundance of agriculture fields consisting of soy beans, corn, milo, alfalfa, and wheat all along these bottoms.

For our 5 1/2 day archery hunts we currently have around 300 ladder stands up on our farms and we are continuously adding more. We try to have one for each wind direction in each pinch point, travel corridor, river or creek crossing and bedding area. All the stands are flagged every 10-15 feet to the edge of the field with pink ribbon and on the pink ribbon we put DOT reflector tape. There is nothing worse than not being able to find your stand in the morning in the dark. We have taken every precaution to see to it that a blind man can find our stands. We only offer Bow hunts during the pre rut, rut and beginning of the post rut. This is late October and November. We only believe in running hunts when it’s the best possible time to kill a Trophy Kansas Buck.

Muzzle loader is the first season of the year it is in late September. At this time of year we are hunting over standing crops. Kansas Whitetail Bucks are in bachelor groups and are patternable!! They are living in the soy bean, milo, and corn fields. The corn is generally cut by the time season starts so we don’t have to fight that as cover. This is when we see for the first time other than trail cam pics what Kansas has to offer. We see some of the biggest bucks of the year for the first time during this season. We make use of our 300+ ladder stands and 38+ box blinds but mostly at this time we hunt off of a folding chair tucked in along the edge of the field. There is a lot of cover with the crops standing and the weeds and trees still being leafed out. The great part of this hunt is, if you spot a big Kansas buck feeding in an area and you can’t get a shot he will likely be there again tomorrow. These are 6 day hunts.

How many hunters do you take during ML total? How many hunters per season total on all hunts?

8 per week muzzle loader so 16 total. as for the other question it depends on leases, deer numbers etc..

Interesting, thanks.

Yes crossbows are legal.

Still have a couple openings. Call Todd Griffin at (785)392-7441 with any questions and/or to book.

Archery openings have changed a bit. We are booked for the early pre-rut dates (October 31 - November 4), but now have 2 slots for the 2nd week in November. This is THE prime rut week when mature bucks are moving and chasing during daylight hours and have not yet gone into lockdown mode. In years past, this week is normally the best week of the archery season for seeing and harvesting mature bucks.

Also, due to a cancellation, there are now 2 slots open for the 2nd rifle season. We have 38 box blinds and adding each year. Some of these are elevated and some are not depending on the situation of the farm. These are set up facing areas that deer generally always feed in. We also corn up these areas several days before the season starts and keep them baited during the season as needed. This is post rut and the hunter will probably see some chasing but it’s not flat out rut, its tapering off. Kansas Whitetail have been through a lot by now and need energy so the corn really is appealing to them at this time. The hunter should see anywhere from 10 or so deer up to 70 per sit depending on the farm, weather, and many other conditions. We recommend that you bring a portable heater with you to take to the blinds if needed. This time of year the weather is unpredictable and it can be cold. The rifle hunts are 5 1/2 days and are also $3000.

Finally, we still have several muzzleloader slots available and are offering $250 discounts to fill these slots. Act fast on these.

LODGING: During this hunt, you will stay in our spacious 3500 square foot lodge built with the hunter in mind. We have separate bedrooms, 4 baths, big flat screen TVs, Elk horn chandeliers, 3 fully furnished kitchens with all the spices and utensils, all the way down to the coffee and filters. There are several gas grills on site as well if you want to do some grilling. We do not provide the meals but we have all the accommodations for you to cook if you want. We are located just 7 miles from the town of Minneapolis, Kansas where you can find most anything you could need grocery stores, liquor stores, gas stations, restaurants, etc… We can provide the evening meal for a small additional fee if you would like provided arrangements are made ahead of time. We (the guides) want to spend our time trying to make sure the hunters have a good hunt and are seeing the Monster Kansas Bucks, not cooking. If arrangements are made ahead of time we can take care of it generally my wife has it catered or brought in by an excellent local cook.

Please call Todd Griffin at (785)392-7441 with any questions and/or to book your hunt.
