| Kansas waterfowl hunting is largely over small farm ponds and larger watershed lakes for both water and field sets for duck and geese.
The most widely stated comments about Kansas pond duck hunting is the duck hunt is the day before driving around and scouting. Ducks using ponds will do so for long periods of time making the next day more of a duck shoot than a hunt. We have also heard from some of the more season long duck hunters that ducks seen on ponds are in the hundreds rather than the thousands on the wetlands. These duck also seem more willing to be worked with call and decoy. Within Mid-America Hunting Association we do not manage pond duck hunts in the same manner as our wetlands. In the case of the ponds the hunter would reserve a "unit" of land that may have several ponds for two days. The first day is to scout and the second day is for the hunt. We do not post blinds on the pond and they typically have deep water requiring dog or small boat light weight enough to be hand dragged from truck at road to the pond.
