Big Nemaha - Whitetail Deer

Big Nemaha offers 159 private acres of deer hunting for mature Kansas whitetails just north of Seneca, in Nemaha County and Deer Management Unit 9. The farm sits less than a mile from the Nebraska line and a mile west of the South Fork of the Big Nemaha River.
The ground has everything a whitetail needs in one place. Thick stands of timber hold bedding cover, open ag fields provide feed, and a water source on the property keeps deer close. With very little hunting pressure in past seasons, the deer here are rested and moving on natural patterns.
Your party gets exclusive access for the length of your hunt, with room for up to three hunters. This is a true DIY setup with no stands or blinds provided, so bring a saddle, climber, or ground blind and set up where the sign tells you. A marked driving path, shown in the Infinite Outdoors app, gets you onto the property.
Hunters are asked to help manage the herd by harvesting mature bucks only. Each adventure is five days. Nonresidents need a drawn Kansas whitetail permit valid in Unit 9, and residents can buy an any-season whitetail permit over the counter. Lodging, food, and fuel are about 10 miles south in Seneca.

Unit 9 covers northeast Kansas, an area known for producing big whitetails. Big Nemaha mixes creek bottoms, hardwoods and thickets, grassland, and crop ground, with about 30 acres planted in wheat and a small pond on site. With food, water, and cover all on one farm, deer have little reason to leave.
Deer bed in the timber and thickets, travel the tree lines, and feed in the wheat and surrounding fields. A strong resident doe herd keeps bucks coming through, and as the rut builds in November, mature bucks cruise the tree lines and creek bottoms looking for does. Cattle graze the farm in spring and summer but are off the property by early November, leaving it quiet for the heart of the season.

After your hunt, you will be sent an automated Harvest Report. To assist Infinite Outdoors in maintaining the quality of properties, and continue to put conservation at the forefront, we require that the harvest report be completely filled out and returned. Failure to fill out the harvest report within 2 weeks of the hunt taking place will result in a $25 fine. If you are unsuccessful in filling your tag, Infinite Outdoors still needs to have that information provided to them. This is how we will make changes to future year’s harvest quotas and continue to be the most well managed access and conservation platform in the country.

Big Nemaha is hunted during the Kansas whitetail seasons in Unit 9: archery season from mid September through December, early muzzleloader season in September, and the regular firearm season in early December. The rut typically peaks in November, during archery season. Hunter orange is required during firearm and muzzleloader seasons. Season dates change each year, so check current dates with Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks.
