Kansas Turkeys

[duckaholic25]

I am getting to hunt in South East kansas in the middle of April and was wondering if any one had any advice on these gobblers. I have hunted them in Louisiana for several years now but I know it is gonna be totally different up there. Just wanted to get a heads up before taking off up there.

I am headed out to Kansas April 11th, when are you going to go, Maybe I can give you a scouting report. We are headed to the El Dorado area.

A lot of the hunting in that area is going to be field hunting, small and large. Some of the Drury hunts where you see them sliding down a hedge row or fence line is pretty close. I'm going to be in the Fort Scott area April 14th.

I am gonna be around the Indepedence-Elk City area on 4/15 , and yes I would love to get a scouting report. The guy that is taking me killed 2 in 2 days last year and it was his first time turkey hunting. I think the birds there are gonna be night and day difference from the tough birds that i hunt here in north LA.

Will do, I may not be around a Computer out that way, when are you leaving I will be back on the 16th, if you want send me your Cell # and I can text you the report day by day, weather and all. If not then I will get it to you by computer when I get back.

I will be heading up to Kansas on April 14th for the 1st time. We will be hunting the north-east part of the state. I think the nearest town is Sabetha. Anyone ever hunted this area ?

[duckaholic25]

I am talking the lowest I have seen in 15 years. 

Well shoot that stinks. I hope there are at least a few left up there..  Hoot i am gonna message you my number if I can figure out how.

[Hootowl]

So what your saying is the El Dorado area is going to be a Tough Hunt due to the Flooding Rains the last few years? Figures I get to go out of State and something Like this Happens.

Haven and Pratt areas should be decent.  As someone else said these are mostly agricultural areas ....wheat,corn bean fields and pastures.  Wooded areas are much smaller than most eastern and northern hunters are used to.  I have good success scouting in late afternoon to try and put them to roost....with limited woodands you can usually get pretty close to them in the morning. One of the areas I hunt is an area right between Haven and Pratt.
