Hunts
Interests | Rio Grande TurkeyLimited rainfall, humidity, altitude and low moisture winters creates a large pocket of Rio Grande Turkeys that rivals any of the more widely known Rio Grande Turkey states such as Texas. While a surprise to many that our wild Rio Grande Turkey hunts are as good and bird population are as large as they are it is also a welcomed relief as much as by what is absent from our Rio hunts. That is we do not have cactus and snakes. While Kansas has rattlers, hunters will be hard pressed to find one not just during a hunt, but also over the next 10 years of Kansas hunting. For us residents, the sighting of a rattle snake is far more often a story about someone else that knows someone that saw one than actual first hand experience. This includes not just spring turkey hunters, but also the early season upland bird hunters covering much ground with their dogs. The reason for our lack of snakes is due to our best Kansas hunting is within the agricultural zone ranging from 45 to 55% land use in farming. Row crop equipment does much to keep snake populations well below that found in wooded areas. Kansas Rio Grande hunting also extends eastward toward lower elevations meeting the higher humidity and heavier rainfalls that separate the Kansas Rio region from the Eastern Turkey in the east quarter of Kansas. Kansas Eastern Turkey hunting is along the more heavily wooded creek bottoms that connect many small wood patches cutting once again through farm fields. If wanting a criteria for choosing between Kansas Rio Grande or Eastern Turkey hunting the bow deer hunter will find more suitable closed in wooded cover within the Eastern Turkey range while the rifle hunter has the deer hunting advantage within the big open Kansas Rio Grande Turkey range.
Upland BirdKansas upland bird hunts are over vast areas where wild pheasant and Bobwhite Quail overlap or one is more predominate over that of the other. Just as the upland bird variety is widely present to allow for both on one hunt or day that habitat follows the same course from crop edge, draws and tall grass. All this combined makes for the adventure of different hunting techniques and bird dog experience that will make for a better overall hunt as well as a bird dog better capable of identifying target habitat.
Kansas pheasant hunting is for only wild pheasant along a choice of Kansas habitat ranging from tall grass to brush filled draws to crop edge. Kansas pheasant hunting is for those that prefer individual or small group pheasant hunting watching their dogs work. We do not allow any type of drive or gang pheasant hunting. Kansas quail hunting is for wild Bobwhite Quail along miles of crop edge fields. The Kansas quail hunter with a brace of dogs and a hunting buddy walking both sides of the light cover creeks will find plenty of covey and the prized singles quail action our mild winter weather allows. Kansas quail hunting offers a choice of mixed bag Kansas pheasant hunting and variety of habitat that while the quail hunter will enjoy the easy to walk crop edge the more rugged draws and tall grass will provide more pheasant action. Kansas is distinct as it allows the upland bird hunter's choice of concentrating his hunting time on either pheasant or quail or both, the same day, hunt or season.
MAHA Kansas Hunting AdvantageWhen it comes to our self guided Kansas hunting lease land very few other pay to hunt options will compare with the total acreage, number of available field days, types of habitat and the fact that all of our game is 100% natural on natural habitat. Combine the Kansas hunting seasons with Missouri and Iowa and that leaves the do it yourself hunter with more options than to be found anywhere.
