Kansas Pheasant Hunting
An estimated 887,000 roosters were taken in Kansas in 2007, the best harvest in the state since 1987. The good news for Kansas pheasant hunters is that it will be another year full of flushing roosters, and this year's harvest could even exceed that of last year!
The state's pheasant crowing survey index increased 35 percent in 2008 over 2007, with the highest values recorded in the northwest region. Though results of the state's 6-week pheasant observation survey were not yet complete, the initial summarized data indicated overall pheasant numbers are a bit better than those of 2007.
Much of northwest Kansas will have outstanding numbers of pheasants this fall. The best pheasant hunting in the state will likely occur in an area bounded by and including the following counties: Rawlins south to Logan, Logan southeast to Ford and Kiowa, Kiowa north-northeast to Russell, Russell north-northwest to Phillips, and Phillips west to Rawlins.
North central Kansas will be similar to last year, and southwest Kansas will be variable with areas north and east of Dodge City very good. Areas south and west of Dodge still have good numbers of birds but will be significantly down from 2007, with very substantial declines in far southwest Kansas - areas west and south of Dodge City were unusually dry and far southwest Kansas was extremely dry this spring.
South central Kansas, while not one of the top pheasant regions, should be much better than last year.
