Upland BirdsUpland bird hunters can enjoy a preference of wild Bobwhite Quail, pheasant or mixed bag hunt. That same hunter has a choice of habitat covering tall grass, brush filled draws and crop fields. Most enjoy the variety of habitat and birds on the same hunt finding a bird or habitat of preference more suited for their hunting style and dog power. Start with our upland bird page for a quick overview of all the upland bird hunt options we provide.

Pheasant hunts include more tall grass acreage than most will care to hunt in a season. Our pheasant hunts also cover the grassed waterways of Iowa, the draws and tall grass of Kansas. Our pheasant regions overlap with that of Bobwhite Quail giving every pheasant hunter the choice of a mixed bag hunt. Kansas pheasant hunts have the most tall grass acreage and when tired of the physical strain tall grass provides, Kansas also has brush filled draws that holds both pheasant and quail. The Kansas pheasant hunter will find the 4 bird daily bag along with quail to provide the level of dog work that makes for the better pheasant hunt. Iowa pheasant hunts will provide as much pheasant as quail dog action. Iowa pheasant hunts are within the landowners' fence line and not the often read about ditch or road hunts. We offer wild Iowa pheasant hunts on natural crop farm land without any of the public lands hunter mentality. We also preclude the necessity of knocking on doors for land access. Our hunters hunt without competition.

Wild Bobwhite Quail hunts over thousands of miles of grain crop field edge, waterways and short grass. We emphasize the phrase "Wild Bobwhite Quail Hunts" as our quail hunts are that tough as wild quail provide. For those with the willingness to walk, shooting ability and dog power we have the wild quail to provide full day hunts every day of the trip. Our quail hunts insure hunter separation to avoid stepping over boot prints or mixing dogs with others. Missouri quail hunts provide the most grain field and soft edge acreage as well as smaller fields than that of our Kansas or Iowa quail regions. Missouri quail hunters can expect as much woods shooting as that of open field with both covey and singles points allowing for 10 minutes to two hours worth of dog on bird action per covey. Missouri is also for the Bobwhite Quail purist as the pheasant is a rarity. Iowa quail season allows for quail hunts from the last Saturday in October through the last day in January making it the longest quail season of our three states. Iowa quail hunts differ from Missouri with the addition of more pheasants will be found and differs from Kansas as Kansas has more than double the pheasants of Iowa. Iowa Bobwhite Quail hunts allow for not only a longer season but also a stop off on the way to or from a Kansas or Missouri hunt. Kansas quail hunts offer the best mixed bag opportunity for pheasant as well on the same day and every day of the trip. This variety lends to sustain hunter interest and dog power development through not only two bird species, but also habitat variety of tall grass, brush filled draws and crop fields as well as crop edge hunts. Kansas quail hunts are for the upland bird hunter that enjoys not knowing for sure what will flush from point. |
