Ck Outfitters

CK Outfitters operates a small, personally-run hunting operation based in Osage City, Kansas, with over 23,480 acres of private property dedicated exclusively to trophy whitetail and turkey hunting. Owner Kenny Graham has managed this land for the past 25 years, and he's returned to Kansas full-time to oversee operations 365 days a year.

What separates them from typical outfitters: the owners guide your hunt. Kenny and co-owner Curt don't hire guides and disappear. They're in camp during every hunt. Your guide-outfitter is present on the hunting property throughout your stay.

• •All-inclusive pricing includes lodging, all meals (3 per day), guide service, tag application, game care, field dressing, game retrieval, taxidermy prep, and meat processing. You only pay for the license.

• •88 enclosed hunting blinds with wood sides, roofs, and carpeting
• •Comfortable office-style chairs and window rests
• •Heaters available to handle Kansas winter weather
• •No ladder stand in the elements—you hunt from a "small house"
• •About 1 hunter per 690 acres
• •Zero other hunting allowed on the property to protect habitat and security

"Success rate over last 20 years: 73.4% on large mature whitetails. Shot opportunity: 163%. Average harvest size: 142 2/8 inches."

They keep detailed records and don't cherry-pick statistics. Those numbers include every harvested animal, not just trophy bucks.

CK Outfitters guarantees your first turkey or pays the price:

• •Guaranteed harvest: Get your first turkey or the head guide personally guides you day 2 at no charge
• •Still fail? Add an extra hunt day at their expense
• •Still unsuccessful? Return the following year free to hunt

Two-turkey success rate over 15 years: 192.2% (including 12 archery hunters).

They draw preference points for you with the new demand for tags. Ask about convenient payment plans.

The outfitters replaced their old operation with a brand-new lodge opened in 2020 overlooking Melvern Lake and hunting grounds in Osage County. No bunkhouse-style sleeping—this is actual lodging.
