I am retiring this year and want to treat myself to a deer hunt. I have no interest in a high fenced area and wish to spend around 4 grand. I am only interested in a buck that is 140 or better. I have killed tons of smaller bucks in my 40 something years of deer hunting so have no interest in something smaller. I would appreciate any information anyone might provide.
Thanks,

I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

You could get in on a good KY/IL lease for that much and hunt all year and have a GREAT chance at a 140.


If you want to always win, never play anyone better than you!

I didn't see where he asked for opinions on what he should do with his money. I think he just asked where he could kill a free range 140 for 4k

South Texas ( 2 hrs or so South of San Antonio- Webb, Dimmit, Frio or LaSalle counties)- $4,000 will get you up to a 150" buck in a lot of places. Go thru Pearsall Tx while there and check out the Los Cazadores Big Buck Contest.
South Central KS ( Comanche,Barber, Kiowa Counties)- $3500 will get you whatever you want to shoot in a lot of places.

All good trips.

and you will normally be done with Rut either place by Christmas.

I can vouch for South Texas. We have access to a ranch in Encinal and its nothing short of amazing down there. Thier rut is getting good from mid December til around Christmas.

1. South central Kansas (but to get unit 15 or 16 you most likely will need a preference point)
2. IA (but if you don't already have preference points, you won't get drawn in the preferred areas).
3. TX
4. North Central OK. I know, you never heard anyone hunting there. Almost as good as Kansas, a grand or more cheaper and across the counter tags.

So if you don't have preference points, TX.
