Re: kansas
I live in NE Kansas, 1.5 hours from Ft. Riley. Kansas holds whitetail and mule deer, although the mule deer are mostly to the west. Elk and antelope are also here, but not my neck of the woods. If it's birds you're after, there is some fantastic pheasant ground. Turkey, of varying species, are all over the state. Quail and prairie chicken are also around, but can be a bit tougher to locate, at least where I hunt.
