How can I book a hunt with Hunt Hickory Creek?
First you should contact Jeff for available dates. Then, to secure your trip date, there is a deposit due at the time of booking. Deer hunts require a $400 deposit, turkey hunts and predator hunts require a $200 deposit.
It is the hunter's responsibility to apply for an either sex deer permit available on-line at the KDWP website. There is an April 1 - April 31 application time period. Once the permit has been drawn you then purchase a Kansas Non-Resident hunting license on-line through the KDWP website. There has been a 100% success rate on the Non-resident deer permit drawing for previous years.

We utilize both fixed and ladder stands. The fixed stands from 18ft to 25ft are accessed via strap-on ladder steps. The ladder stands 16ft-20ft. We also use tower blinds on some properties and have some tent blinds for quick ambush setups. If you have a stand that you're comfortable with, bring it along just in case.
Are there any trophy fees?
Absolutely Not!! We have no hidden fees. We do enforce an $1,000 fine for any buck less than 140 inches that is harvested. This is not an effort to make money, rather a tool used in our goal of Quality Deer Management. (Fine is enforced at the judgment of Hickory Creek Management).
