Generalities

Generally, Association turkey hunters with 10-20 or so fewer toms to their credit seek to fill every tag they have on all hunts while most of those with 20 plus turkeys in the bag experience are the ones more likely to spend the most time deer scouting. These hunters also typically turkey hunt one state and Kansas is often that choice.

Our on your own Kansas turkey hunting approach to managed hunts seems to have this secondary effect where turkey hunters no longer feel the pressure to continuing pushing themselves to succeed. More are enjoying the quality of the overall experience to include an increase in the number that seek to also bass fish immediately after their turkey hunt before heading home. We also are enjoying an increase in youth spring season turkey hunts and more spouses are making it an entire family affair with the turkey hunting trip one more reason to spend time together.

From one of our Kansas land runs.

This land run was to confirm or deny the presents of birds for a spring turkey hunt. Pretty good evidence with this picture well into the morning. The early spring and well greened up cover indicates this is a southern lease.

More often than not due to time limitations and the fact our turkeys are truly wild when we scout a property we frequently must settle for a track.

We fully recognize how difficult do it yourself wild turkey hunting can be and seek to make it as easy as possible for the Association hunter. We take that hunter as far as getting him to the right place to park his truck. After that he is on his own to hunt as he see fit to do so.

Variety

Kansas also offers a variety of habitat and hunt methods many from other states cannot enjoy at home.

Kansas allows all day long hunts (Sundays included) allowing those to experience afternoon strutting area hunts that allow for some the first opportunity to stalk toms rather than always use a fixed setup and call/decoy their birds. An advantage to the self guided rather than guided hunter.

The evening return to roost hunt is probably the greatest source of frustrated stories we have heard and mostly a Kansas story. Some of the most experienced and resourceful spring season hunters have given up attempting to figure out late Kansas afternoon/early evening flock returning to roost hunts simply finding it too hard compared to a morning roost fly down ambush turkey hunting method.

For those making a family affair of it the many small towns with their special appeal of antiques, crafts and home town cafe's allow for all to have a special piece of adventure. For most just being out there when the weather is cool, too early for most bugs and the land just coming into green makes the trip a relaxing and enjoyable hunt a welcomed bonus.
