About this unit
AI-compiled · sourcedStevens County sits in the far southwest corner of Kansas where shortgrass prairie and dryland agriculture define the landscape near the Oklahoma and Colorado borders. The Cimarron River corridor and scattered playa lakes attract both whitetail and mule deer to an otherwise open terrain. Low hunting pressure and a mix of deer species make this a sleeper county for western Kansas hunters.
Flat to gently rolling shortgrass prairie in the far southwest corner of Kansas near the Oklahoma and Colorado borders. The Cimarron River and its tributaries provide scattered woody cover in an otherwise open agricultural landscape with dryland crop fields and rangeland.
Low. Remote location, limited public access, and sparse human population keep pressure well below state averages.
Over-the-counter archery and firearm deer tags available; antlerless permits by drawing for managed harvest.
Mule deer inhabit the creek drainages and rougher terrain near the Cimarron corridor. Pheasant populations exist in the agricultural areas of the county though numbers fluctuate with habitat conditions.
One of the few Kansas counties where hunters can encounter both mule deer and whitetail in the same drainage. Extreme southwest location offers genuine western Kansas solitude and minimal competition.
