Kansas Rio Hunting

John_The_Bastard · Dec 31, 2016

I am researching a spring Kansas rio hunt. I want nonguided or semi guided. I am willing to pay trespass fees or hunt on public ground. I would like pointers to get started, I have hunted gobblers for 30 years and need help as far as areas to hunt or who to contact. paying a fee for a semi guided hunt would be no problem. there would probably be 3 hunters.Any help would be appreciated.
Happy New Year

Big Dog Outfitters, Kingman, Kansas. They have private leases, lots of birds, you do the hunting. They just drop you off.

Are you from Kansas? Curious as to why you would pick Kansas to chase Rios?

If a man was thinking about Rios, where should he start. Rios are moving to my short list.

Hello Rut
I am from Southern Illinois. Kansas is close. 8 to 9 hour drive.I will have either 2 or 3 tags here in Illinois where the season runs April 3 thru May 4th. 1 bird per season is allowed with 5 seasons. Also will hunt without a gun or bow with a son and a friend. I can fit this hunt in easy and still enjoy my very inexpensive hunts here. I am looking to hunt Rio's and Merriam's as I can over the next few years.
