Kansas has long been considered a great pheasant hunting destination. The numbers vary year to year, but it consistently ranks in the top four, along with South Dakota, for locations to pheasant hunt. With a little research, a sportsman can find many great locations Kansas offers to the pheasant hunter.
Doing research on both pheasant and the Kansas landscape will be essential for a good hunt. Habitat varies greatly every year depending on a number of factors; precipitation is the primary concern which determines crop growth for the year. Tall grass and crop fields are the best locations in Kansas to find pheasant, but a severe drought could almost completely diminish this habitat for the pheasant, so knowing what the weather has done for the year will be an important factor in your Kansas pheasant hunt.
Crop fields are some of the best hunting locations available in Kansas. The condition of the crop is paramount however; wheat crop is important to pheasant nesting so if the crop doesn't do well, neither will the fowl that depends on it. Also, changes in Kansas' agricultural practices have greatly affected the pheasant population in the past 20 years; Much of the once great pheasant population has been depleted.
Due to a dedicated effort to boost the bird population though, organizations such as Pheasants Forever have began preserving and restoring pheasant habitat in conjunction with local landowners. They've lobbied for changes in federal farming policies, and worked to educate people on the importance of conservation. In 1995 Kansas initiated a Walk-In Hunting Area program in which landowners enrolled more than one million acres of land for the use of fowl hunting. This not only loosened the strain on public land during pheasant season, but it gave hunters a chance to hunt locations normally off limits to them. Also, only walk-in traffic was allowed, which meant no waiting lists and no extra license fees for hunters.
Kansas also offers the hunter many professional guide services to assist him on his pheasant hunt. These guides are often experts of the area in terrain and pheasant behavior, so enlisting their help can be a priceless resource for the hunter looking to limit out on this clever and challenging fowl. With a little time and research a hunter can find plenty of great locations offered to him by the great pheasant hunting state of Kansas.
