Upland Bird Hunting Recommendations

The map image below is a smaller than actual size sample of one of our upland bird hunting units. This one map sheet representing land available to hunt in black is for one day's reservation. Nothing facny, just quaick and effective.

The purpose of this illustration is how we take care of the first year member/hunter to insure he gets as good of a start as possible.

kansasThis map is from a region that has high pheasant and low quail population densities.

How we would address this one unit for the new member is that he has all of it available to hunt, however we would not recommend spending time on property 33. Property 11 holds a couple of coveys and rarely a pheasant. Most of the other properties highlighted on this map sheet are excellent tall grass and brush draw pheasant spots along side row crop fields. The point we are getting to is if traveling to this unit, do so for the best resource it provides and that is pheasant hunts. Quail will be encountered in this unit, however if wanting to go after quail we have better regions and units with more quail habitat in smaller concentrated areas than this one.

While grass is not readily preferred quail cover it does work well when the covey flushes away from edge cover.

Tall Grass Pheasant Ground

High grass, large fields and simply a lot of walking. In general terms a two hour hunt per 1/4 section (160 acres) for one hunter and one dog is a short walk.

What we do is get the hunter to the right habitat within the right region of the state for what he is after
