Hey all, Im from KY and heading out to KS (Hutchinson area) around the 3rd week of November for 3 days. I would love to get into some pheasant, but i have no idea where to go yet. How is the pheasant hunting in that area? Can anyone provide a little assistance with public areas to hunt around that area and any other advice would be appreciated. Also, i will not be hunting with dogs, what are my chances of being able to get some pheasant by just jumping them up myself? Thank you.

I hunt quite a bit around Hutch, there are pretty good bird numers (both pheasant and quail) around Hutch most years. The land we hunt is private so I'm not sure about the public land and I've always hunted with dogs. If I was you I'd try to find someone that has dogs to hunt with and your chances of getting into birds should be much better. I'd meet up with you, but I will be in Western Kansas that weekend. Good luck, KansasGsp
 
Thanks KansasGSP. Yeah, Ive heard there is a lot of public land around that area as well so I would imaging they hold good bird numbers too...i hope so anyway. Guess Ill be finding out:)
 
I don't want to sound discouraging, but I would say your chances of getting into pheasants alone on public ground without a dog are not that great. Then if you also consider that the ground you will be walking will be day-trip distance from Wichita, and you also haven't done any scouting of the area...:eek: My personal opinion is that you would have to be pretty lucky or pretty sneaky.

I don't know you personally, so I don't know anything about your "bird sense", but I would wager that the average joe would not be successful. I guess that does sound discouraging. Sorry about that. Personally, I would use whatever connections you have in Hutch to try to hook up with somebody that can take you with them.
