Kansas is always one of the top pheasant
hunting states in the country. Our members have thousands
of acres to pick from. Portions of
Missouri are also second to none for pheasant, especially northern Missouri in the
counties just below the Iowa border. Quail hunting can be combined with pheasant in some
areas of Kansas, Missouri and Iowa.
Hunting pheasant in Kansas is pheasant hunters’
heaven. North Central and North Western Kansas have high pheasant population
densities, with Norton, Kansas advertising itself as the Pheasant Hunting
Capital of the Nation. From North Central Kansas,
southern Iowa through North Missouri
yields pheasant and quail.
Is pheasant hunting in Kansas good? See the
pheasant population
distribution map. It shows the significantly higher
pheasant densities,
over larger areas in Kansas than other states. Kansas also has a long
pheasant hunting season starting the second Saturday in November and running
through the last day of January. Our warmer climate as compared to the
northern states of Montana and the Dakotas, allows for more pheasant
hunting pleasure and fewer days sitting out extreme weather in the hotel
room. Add this to our overlapping quail and pheasant ranges with the Prairie Chicken
as a bonus makes Kansas truly the bird hunters’ heaven.
Every day's good pheasant hunting, just some days you get more
birds.
Many times pheasant hunters limit out on pheasants in one
circular walk around a single CRP field. Shooting a four pheasant limit per hunter is not
unusual. Doing it in one field on one walk and frequently is and what Kansas has to
offer.
Northern Missouri also has very good pheasant hunting. The
only differences are more quail and the pheasant bag limit is two birds where Kansas
allows four pheasants per day.
