DEER HUNTING WITH UPLAND INN HUNTS
The state of Kansas provides some of the best trophy whitetail hunting in the nation, and Upland Inn Hunts has the habitat to grow them big. With a mix of sand hill plum pastures, mature hedge rows, creek bottoms, agricultural fields, and CRP, we have all the habitat types on our 12,000 acres that trophy deer like. We our located in unit 16 (with some land in unit 17), known as one of the bigger buck areas of KS. With our numerous tree stands and box blinds positioned in the best areas, we can put you in the area with the most big buck activity. We utilize trail cameras year round to monitor our deer herd and find out when and where the biggest bucks will be.

Whitetail Deer Hunting In Kansas
We like our hunters to arrive the afternoon before their hunt so we can show you around our big deer hunt spots. We will give you suggestions on where we think the biggest bucks will be, but let you choose the stand, blind, and location that you want to be. You can move around from one location to another if you want to see some different terrain. Your hunt will start before the sun rises to fresh brewed coffee and a wonderful home cooked breakfast.

You will head to the field and into the stands before first light, and get to witness a beautiful Kansas sunrise as the plentiful deer, turkey, pheasant, quail and other wildlife become active as the sun rises. In our wide open country, you can typically see movement as far as your eyes/binoculars can reach. In our more open deer spots, we will have feeders and salt licks set up to draw deer in. With the numerous trail camera pictures we will have, you can wait for your perfect buck to come along or take the first monster that you see fit.

If you wish to stay in the field all day long, we will bring lunch out to you (or pack you a lunch in the morning). Or you can come back to the lodge for a tasty lunch and a quick rest before heading back out for the afternoon hunt. Once your hunt is finished for the day, we will keep you fed with prime ribeye’s and homemade pies to get you prepared for a good night’s rest. Relax in our heated massaging recliners as you watch one of our big screen TV’s with Dish Network.

Dove Hunting
Upland Inn Hunts offers some incredible dove hunts. With the season opening on September 1st of every year, we get the benefit of having the local population to hunt, plus many of the birds from northern states that may have been pushed south to us. Typically we will set up over a small pond with lots of bare ground around edges. In the mornings and evenings, the doves will flock to these water sources. Since we are in sandy soils, there is not much standing water in the area. This limits the amount of areas that the dove can go for water, and produces some fast paced dove hunting. With a liberal limit of 15 doves per day, we can ensure that you get plenty of action during your hunt.

Your Typical Upland Inn Dove Hunt
We start with a home cooked breakfast before sunrise. We will then head to one of our ponds to get set up. With the use of mojo decoys, the doves will flock in from the many corn, wheat, bean, sunflower, and milo fields in the area. Our labs will help with the retrieves of your downed birds. After the action slows down around 10:30 am, we will head back to the lodge for lunch and relaxation. We will then head back to the ponds around 3:30 in the afternoon for another evening of fast action. Doves can fly up to 55 mph on powerful wing beats, sometimes making sudden ascents, descents, and dodges, their pointed tails stretching behind them. They can provide a challenging hunt even for the best shotgunners. That evening, we will have an excellent dinner while we reminisce about the great experiences we had that day.

Not Included in Price:
KS hunt license with a a HIP stamp
Alcoholic beverages
Ammo - We recommend shot size of 7 ½ or 8’s for dove hunting.

KANSAS PHEASANT HUNTING AT UPLAND INN HUNTS
Upland Inn prides itself in providing some of the best wild pheasant hunting in the world. And with highest limit in the nation at 4 roosters per day, we can provide you 33% more harvested birds than a state like South Dakota. We invest extensive resources in our 21 CRP fields to provide everything a pheasant needs to thrive. This starts with the backbone of a pheasants habitat needs in well maintained native grass. We use controlled burns to prevent the native grass from becoming too thick and rank, strip disking to open up the ground for broods to use as bugging areas, inter-seeding to provide more forb and legume growth (that studies show increases insect numbers by 300%), and food plots to provide an excellent food source during fall and winter.

Our CRP is Key
The goal is always to provide quality habitat for pheasants to use during all stages of their life cycle. Another benefit to our CRP fields is that every field has at least 2 sides that has pivot irrigated cropland. These fields are typically planted in either corn, beans, milo, or wheat. The constant moisture provided from the pivot irrigated fields provides moisture for the birds during the drier summer months, as well as some cooler vegetation to escape the summer heat. We believe that this is a key reason why our bird numbers remain so high even during the drought years. When mother nature provides abundant moisture like she has the last couple of years, the pheasant population numbers are amazing.

Pheasants As Far As the Eye Can See
We recently set a record on our road side counts by spotting 307 pheasants in the 1 hour prior to sunset! Because we have 12,000 acres and 21 CRP fields, most of our fields only get hunted 2 or 3 times per season, ensuring that late season hunts are as good as early season hunts. Because we are much further South than the other pheasant states, late season hunting is typically quite comfortable. Average highs in December and January are around 45°, which is very comfortable as your walking through CRP grass. The fast action will keep your blood flowing as well. Some of our best hunts have occurred in January, as the birds will tend to flock to the best habitat, which our CRP fields provide.

Your Typical Kansas Pheasant Hunt
Most groups arrive the afternoon before their hunt. If your group can arrive before 4 pm, we can take you on a wildlife tour around our properties. You will be amazed at the amount of birds that can be seen the last hour of sunlight as the birds go to and from our CRP fields to feed in the surrounding agricultural fields. Deer, turkey, quail, and many other wildlife species are also typically observed.

A typical day of pheasant hunting will start with a delicious breakfast of biscuits and gravy, ham/sausage/eggs, cinnamon rolls, or one of the other delicious meals our cook will prepare. We will typically head to the fields at around 9 am, and the average group limits out in around 4 hours or so. After getting your limits, we will head back to the lodge for an excellent lunch. For those that would like to shoot some more after they get their limit, we can take you out for a predator hunt (no charge) in that afternoon, or we can go trap shooting at the local range. Once back to the lodge, the fun continues with pool, shuffleboard, darts, Foosball, poker table, bow and arrow target shooting, ping pong, and many other options to keep you entertained. A dinner of prime rib-eyes, smothered steak, or one of the other great meals prepared by our chef will get the energy tanked filled for a night of storytelling about the days hunt. Homemade pies for desert will put that final smile on your face.

Our Pheasant Hunting Dogs
We use a combination of pointing dogs and flushing dogs to provide you with different experiences hunting behind different breeds. We also strongly encourage you to bring your own dogs as well, as there is nothing like the feeling of seeing your own dog get into hundreds of wild pheasants. Currently we have 6 English Pointers, 2 German Shorthairs, 1 Vizsla, and 6 Labs. Because of the thick cover in our CRP fields, and the fact that we don’t put much pressure on each field, we tend to get a lot of points from our pointing dogs.

KANSAS BOBWHITE QUAIL HUNTING AT UPLAND INN HUNTS
Kansas is one of the top states for bobwhite quail hunting, and Upland Inn provides some of the best available in the Midwest. A combination of native sand hill pastures, CRP, and crop fields provides the perfect combination of habitat that quail need. We’ve been able to move as many as 28 coveys in a day! We typically use pointing dogs while quail hunting, but we strongly encourage you to bring your dogs as well. We only sell a limited amount of quail hunts every season, so book your hunt early if you want to get in on the action.

A Typical Upland Inn Quail Hunt
A typical day of quail hunting at Upland Inn will be a delicious breakfast around 8 am, and we will head to the fields around 9 am. We will get the dogs collared up, and head through the beautiful habitat as you watch the grace of a good bird dog work his magic. The thrill experienced when a pointer locks up is only exceeded by the anticipation as you walk in for the covey rise. The small flying rockets that bust from a covey rise will challenge even the best of shooters, and with a limit of 8 birds per day you will get plenty of action. We will head back to the lodge for a delicious lunch and short rest, before heading back out to the fields to finish out your limit. Once back to the lodge at the end of the day, the fun will continue with a prime rib eye dinner, followed by cocktails and storytelling. A game of pool or shuffleboard will help keep the good times rolling, or relax on our heating massaging recliners as you reminisce about the days hunt.

TURKEY HUNTING AT UPLAND INN HUNTS
Upland Inn offers some exceptional Rio Grande turkey hunts. The wide variety of habitat we have on our 12,000 acres creates some unique hunting opportunities. There is nothing like the thrill of watching a mature tom work his way towards our ground blinds, tail feathers spread and gobbling in the cool spring air. Hunters must use their tricks of the trade to lure their prey into the open. The primary method of doing so is to mimic the call of the hen in order to bring out the toms. This means that hunters must be familiar with the behaviors and calls of the Rio Grande, which, like the other subspecies, total 28, each of which has a different and distinct meaning. These calls include clucks, yelps, gobbles, purrs, rattles, and cackles.

About The Rio Grande Turkey
The Rio Grande wild turkey looks much like the other subspecies of wild turkeys and can measure up to four feet tall, but they have exceptionally long legs and are quite pale in color, with copper being the dominant hue. They have tail feathers and rump and tail coverts that are yellow-, tan-, or buff-tipped, which is lighter than that of the eastern or Osceola subspecies and darker than those of the Merriam’s wild turkey. The hens are similar in appearance and size to the males, known as gobblers or toms, but they are duller and weigh less. The average hen weights about 8-12 pounds, while the average mature tom weighs in at about 20 pounds.

As with other subspecies, the males have a beard on the chest and spurs on the lower legs. Only about 10% of hens have a beard and some may have underdeveloped spurs. Like the other subspecies, the Rio Grande tends to eat a diet rich in plant life and insects, with insects being the primary food for young turkeys and plant life dominating the diet when they mature. This bird likes to hide out in the wooded areas near streams and rivers and with its keen hearing and eyesight, it is a challenge to track down and capture.

A Typical Turkey Hunting at Upland Inn
After a great night of sleep in our modern lodge, you will wake up to the smell of fresh brewed coffee. An excellent breakfast will be ready for you of biscuits and gravy, ham and eggs, or one of the other delicious meals prepared by our cook will give you the energy for a great day of hunting. We will then head out to the fields before first light and get set up in our ground blinds. Generally we will be hunting near old, mature hedge rows surrounded by native grass and agricultural fields. We scout these areas before the season opens to find the most common roosting areas. If we don’t happen to get you a turkey that morning, we will head back to the lodge for a great lunch.

After a short siesta, we will head back out to the fields for an afternoon of hunting until sunset. Once back at the lodge, we will feed you an excellent meal of prime ribeye, lasagna, smothered steak, or one of the other great meals our chef will prepare. Fresh homemade pies will keep a smile on your face until morning. Get comfortable in one of our reclining, heated, massaging recliners as you watch television on our big screen TV’s. Or play a game of pool, darts, shuffleboard, or foosball as you recall the memories of your hunt.
