Interest | Hunt vice Collecting
An aspect of our approach to pheasant hunting is oriented toward the do it yourself pheasant hunter as he is far more likely to be interested in the pheasant hunt itself rather than the collection of birds.
Those that seek a lot of action for minimum effort are best suited to pen raised pheasant hunts on a preserve. Those that seek to enjoy the pheasant hunt itself, the habitat pheasants occupy and their own dog work will find the wild pheasant hunts in Kansas to fit that desire.
State Of ChoiceEarly on in this article we wrote that Kansas was the pheasant hunting state of choice over that of Iowa for self guided pheasant hunts. We will now further define that pheasant hunt recommendation within a framework of decision criteria. Kansas State is superior in terms of higher wild pheasant population densities, more mild winter temperatures, a lot less snow and a wider range of pheasant holding habitat types. The prime pheasant habitat is the tall grass. For those that hunt the tall grass a day or two is enough. The extra physical exertion grass walking requires with grass constantly smacking the hunter's face and the complete redundancy and monotony of tall grass will soon cause the Kansas pheasant hunter to seek variety in spite of the bird numbers to be seen. The brushy draw with its opportunity for a quail covey or two in addition to pheasants and the easy to walk crop stubble all start to seem far more attractive for the enjoyment of the day in the field. Combine these advantages to the broad, shallow and generally tree less drainages and Kansas soon becomes a favored pheasant hunter state not just for its pheasants, but also for its habitat variety.
