About this unit
AI-compiled · sourcedMeade County occupies the High Plains of southwest Kansas where shortgrass prairie, sandsage flats, and scattered creek timber support a mix of mule deer and whitetails along with one of the region's more consistent pheasant populations. Mule deer inhabit the broken sandsage country while whitetails concentrate along Crooked Creek and around Meade State Park. The county offers a rare dual-deer opportunity that distinguishes it from most of southern Kansas.
Flat to gently rolling High Plains shortgrass prairie in the far southwest; Crooked Creek drainage and Meade State Park provide timber and water; sandsage grasslands cover significant portions of the county
Low — remote location and long drive from major population centers keep pressure minimal
Over-the-counter whitetail tags; separate lottery mule deer tags required
Pheasant hunting on wheat stubble and sandsage flats; lesser prairie-chicken habitat present in portions of the county
One of southwest Kansas better mule deer counties with sandsage break habitat; Meade State Park offers a rare public-land option in a heavily private landscape
