Kansas Turkey Hunting – 5,000 acres with free roaming wild turkeys

Records say the first wild turkeys were reintroduced into eastern Kansas in 1939. It wasn’t until the establishment of the 1960’s turkey restoration program that the population began to take off, and did they ever take off. You can’t drive through Eastern Kansas without seeing a flock of turkeys feeding in agricultural fields.

Our turkey packages are one on one or two on one fully guided hunts. Our highly skilled guides will do the calling for you or you can help with the calling the choice is yours.

Our 5,000 acres are loaded with free roaming wild turkeys. We have mostly Rio Grande wild turkeys but it is not uncommon to see an Eastern or Eastern-Rio cross.

Those of you that have experience with the Rio Grande Turkey know that they are one of the easiest turkey species to call. They are very boisterous and respond very well to the call. We keep our hunting pressure low insuring an exciting encounter with these elusive big game animals.

One day no service hunts can be arranged. Non-service hunts do not include food or lodging.

We have both spring & fall turkey seasons in Kansas. During the spring season, you can harvest up to two toms. During the fall season you can harvest two birds either toms or hens. Spring turkey hunting is by far the most popular. Spring is when these birds are most vulnerable and respond best to calling. The fall hunt is more of a stalk hunt, and calling plays much less of a role. However fall hunting is very important in that it allows us to harvest hens lowering our tom to hen ratio.
Hunting Conditions
If you have never hunted Kansas before two words can sum up what you need to bring regarding clothing,“come prepared”. You can hunt the spring turkey season one day in 75 degree temperatures and hunt the next day in snow flurries. Most of our hunts will be setup on decoys before daylight and then stalk hunting if we do not harvest a bird early. The terrain will consists of flat, to semi hilly so wear a comfortable pair of boots you may be stalking for some distance.
Permits
Permits and licenses are not included in the package prices. It is the responsibility of the hunter to obtain the proper permits and licenses. Most permits and licenses are available for purchase on-line. Please go to the Kansas Wildlife and Parks web site for further details.
