Id google Kansas public land hunting. I went to school at the University of Kansas coming out of Chicago and worried about finding a place to hunt. After doing a little research I found so much public land I couldn't even cover it all. Of course, this was by Lawrence so it might be different in your neck of the woods. I think Rand McNalleys (Sp?) makes a state map for Kansas that shows pretty much all public hunting. I have it for Illinois and Wisconsin and it shows every bit of land open to the public. It makes it real easy. good Luck!
