Kansas Pheasant Habitat The grass in the foreground is mix of warm season grasses. The grass in the back ground is High Bluestem Prairie Grass. Look for Bluestem next to crops and there will be pheasant. Just like the pheasant at the base of our sign.
Hey Jon, We had a great year. Especially what a great season this year was. This picture is from one day that I could not get out until after 10AM. By 2PM I and the dogs had 4 roosters and 4 quail. All off of points on a hot and calm day that dried us out. I spent the rest of the day chasing coveys, had plenty of opportunity, but couldn't quite connect. These are only a few of the birds we bagged.  Thanks for the hunting.
Sincerely, John
North Central Kansas Pheasant HuntingThis picture was trimmed to allow the dog's long shadow to show. This limit was shot off of one dog's points over two fields by 9 AM. More birds than this were encountered, however shooting ability often slows the speed at which a limit is bagged.  This particular property unit has 1,600 acres and when the weather is right it rarely takes more than two fields to allow for a limit of birds. This area also has residential quail coveys.
It is the MAHA staff's practice to group individual properties into units that have sufficient habitat quality and game per acre to allow for a full day's hunting. Each unit also has a maximum gun limit. This allows for grouping of several units for larger parties. Grouping acreage and habitat is an art that requires an experience eye for the game productive qualities. Our land manager all shoot over pointing dogs and knows bird habitat. Its this art and experience that makes for the hunter to have a full day's hunting. The pheasant hunter that wants to practice the hunting art and have good dog work will find little competition and the best habitat the mid west has to offer. |
