Public pheasant hunt

[max the dog]

I'm just starting to think about a public land pheasant hunt this season. I was thinking about someplace in Kansas but I've never hunted there. Anybody got a good recomendation on a decent spot. We have a good dog and 4 guns planning on going.

there is some great pheasant hunting in Kansas mostly out west when i lived there as a kid we never had a problem getting permision from land owners not sure how much public land there is come on up to South Dakota around Pierre lots of public land and a ton of birds

Yes,
Great Upland hunting in western half of state and especially in the western 1/3 of state. Lots of public land and lot's of friendly landowners too. Book your hotel room early in the year becuase there aren't a whole lot out there and they fill up fast. Out of state hunting is a huge source of revenue for the state of kansas. Here is the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks website... www.kdwp.state.ks.us ... they have county maps showing plots of WIHA (Walk In Hunting Areas) and Public Hunting Areas.
Good luck and have fun,

Tom

Thanks Tom. That was a pretty good link. I found the map page and downloaded them all. We're still just planning the trip but it looks like the birds are in trouble.
