Kansas wild pheasant hunting

Our motivation for this position is pure. We want our hunters to return and hunt with us for years to come. For those interested only in pheasant hunts we steer them to the better areas and that is farther west. Otherwise, the mixed bag bobwhite and rooster hunters have many more location options.

Two good bird dogs show what is possible for one do it yourself hunter on his first trip traveling from Minnesota. Thank you Darren for the pictures and the feedback.

It is certainly gratifying to us that our hunters can have this initial success in their membership and what we do to insure membership renewals. What makes this easy is that we enjoy pheasant hunting ourselves with our own upland bird dogs and we cover our upland bird regions throughout the entire year, not just during the season.

Grass

Our Kansas pheasant habitat is superior based on its heavily invested acreage into the tall prairie grass CRP that serves as the best day long loafing cover of all pheasant habitat that exists. Hunts are largely over many thousands of acres of this tall prairie grass where with a good dog a day's Kansas pheasant bag limit, 4, is achievable from one field of a 1/4 section or larger.

Add to our exceptional cover grass pheasant habitat is the row crop farm fields largely composed of wheat, milo and corn. Combining these two habitats of cover and food is no secret to a great pheasant hunt. However, the superiority of the tall prairie grass pheasant holding capability is not to be considered too lightly.

Traveling the links within this website on our upland bird habitat section will give any pheasant hunter his fill of picture and text description of bad, medium, good and great grasslands Kansas pheasant habitat. We went heavily into the tall grass descriptions to take the mystery out of this habitat and get those not accustomed to it to hunt it.

And a precautionary note. Kansas is part of the great plains and some forget the great plains mean large crop fields. Our pheasant hunts cover larger amounts of acreage than most from northern and eastern state hunters are accustomed to.

While we hear from many pheasant hunters they may hunt one day a week and one vacation week a year in their home state that alone will not prepare dogs for the nearly endless miles of ground they may attempt to cover. Each pheasant hunter will have more acreage to hunt each day than daylight to hunt it. Having that for a week will make for both tired hunters and dogs.

Kansas Pheasant Habitat

Good hunts means good habitat. Good self guided hunts means getting the hunter to the right habitat within the right region of the state where that good hunt potential exists.

This is a Kansas plum thicket and grass draw.

Likely to find both pheasant and quail at this spot, however it is more likely to be pheasant in this draw as the neighboring crop field is some distance away. A small point we for a long time took for granted Kansas hunters would readily recognize and found the traveling pheasant hunter unfamiliar with this terrain found it to be a hard hunt.

For pheasant habitat and hunting it is a matter first for food availability then add to that loafing cover. If this draw bordered a grain field then it would be a guess as to whether there would be more pheasant or quail in this draw. The difference then would depend on what region of Kansas the draw is located due to varying pheasant and quail population densities. In our case of our Association hunter we take that mystery away and get the hunter where he needs to hunt for his bird and habitat of preference in Kansas and Iowa and Missouri.
