Terms & Conditions
These Terms & Conditions apply to hunting trips booked with King Whitetails. By reserving a hunt, the hunter acknowledges and agrees to the booking, payment, transfer and participation terms described below.
1. Booking a Hunt
Hunt availability is limited because King Whitetails deliberately limits hunter numbers and spreads hunting pressure across its private properties.
A phone interview is required before a hunt is officially booked. Hunters may begin the booking process through the website, by phone or by email.
Contact King Whitetails at 785-307-0506 or Support@KingWhitetails.com to discuss the hunt, available dates, pricing and booking requirements.
2. Hunt Deposits and Payments
Deposit and payment requirements vary by hunt type.
All prices are subject to the rates in effect for the hunt and dates being booked. Hunters should confirm current pricing and availability with King Whitetails before making travel arrangements.
3. Deposits and Cancellations
Deposits are non-refundable.
King Whitetails does not offer cancellations as a standard option. If a hunter cannot attend, hunt dates may be transferred or changed under the applicable booking policy.
Waterfowl bookings require a $1,000 deposit per hunter, with the remaining balance due before the hunt. Waterfowl hunts cannot be cancelled, but dates may be changed.
Predator hunts must be paid in full when booked. Predator hunts cannot be cancelled, but dates may be changed.
If a hunter needs to move a hunt to the following year because of a serious last-minute emergency, King Whitetails will determine whether the hunt can be transferred to the following year or whether the hunt is lost. Any such transfer is subject to King Whitetails approval.
Hunters should contact King Whitetails as soon as possible if circumstances arise that may affect their ability to attend.
4. Transferring a Hunt
A booked hunt may be transferred to another hunter under the booking policy. The original hunter should contact King Whitetails before making any transfer so the change can be reviewed and approved.
A transfer does not create a refund of the original deposit or payments.
5. Kansas Turkey Draw Policy
Spring turkey hunters are responsible for obtaining the appropriate Kansas hunting tag. King Whitetails provides one-on-one assistance with the Kansas nonresident application process at no additional charge.
A 50% deposit is due when spring turkey hunting dates are reserved. The remaining balance is due on or before April 1. Any booking made after April 1 is due in full.
If a hunter does not draw a tag for the applicable King Whitetails units, the hunter receives a preference point through the Kansas Department of Natural Resources. King Whitetails will roll the deposit and hunt dates over to the following year under the draw policy.
King Whitetails currently expects a 99% success rate for the following year's application process.
6. Hunting Conditions and Harvests
All King Whitetails hunts are conducted on a 100% fair chase basis. No harvest or particular trophy size is guaranteed.
Whitetail hunters should understand that hunting results vary from season to season. Weather, hunter numbers, hunter experience, deer condition, drought, injury, disease, wind, human pressure and other natural conditions can affect deer movement and hunting results.
A successful hunt means providing the best reasonable opportunity possible. King Whitetails cannot guarantee that a hunter will harvest an animal.
