KANSAS TURKEY HUNTING

TURKEY HUNTING RATES:

$1750.00 - 3 Day Hunt

Get ready for the Kansas Turkey hunting trip of a lifetime! Here at Pipe Creek Guide Service, we offer 3-day fully guided or semi-guided Turkey hunts with a stay in our fully furnished lodge. We hunt in units 2 and 3 on 17,000 acres of private land in Ottawa, Cloud, and Saline County. Located in the middle of Kansas means it's right in the heart of the best Kansas Rio Grande Turkey hunting possible. All the birds in this area are Rio Grandes and produce beautiful, cream-colored to almost bright white tail fans. Until further notice, this hunt is for 1 bird only to help our population recover to its full potential.

These birds are very aggressive in nature and roam a fairly large area daily. They are always fighting amongst themselves and talk very loudly and often. Of course, all of you who hunt turkeys often know that the more they talk, the better!  Therefore, the more they talk, the easier it is to call them in, and or locate them.

THE TERRAIN:

In Kansas, our timber is smaller, and our fields are bigger than in many other states, so we can see them from a long way away. We can spot a bird in a field, slip up a creek bank, and set up on him in minutes on average. We can hunt all day, including on Sunday, even though some states won’t allow it. When you arrive at Pipe Creek Guide Service (generally the evening before the hunt), we will get you acclimated with our 5,200 square foot fully furnished lodge, make sure you have all the necessary tags and licenses, and then jump in the truck and try to locate a bird for the next morning's hunt.

LICENSES:

Kansas Turkey tags are easy to get. You can buy them over the counter or online anytime, along with the Kansas hunting license. If you don’t have it all when you get here, don’t sweat it, we will help you get it, and make sure you're legal.

YOUR HUNT:

Plan on hunting all day if you want, we know that’s why you’re here, so we're ready to go!! Generally, we hunt a roost in the morning, then we will try to spot birds in a field and work them during the day. In the evening, we will go back to a roost area or locate a roosted bird for the next morning. We have blinds set up close to roost areas and feeders for kids, rainy days, and for those who like to Bow Hunt our Kansas Rio Grandes. On average, the hunter will hear anywhere from 5 to 25 different birds gobbling on the roost, depending on the day and the weather. He should see 10-15 different gobblers a day, and often the hunter will have opportunities to tag out in one day, sometimes in a few minutes!!! On average, a mature Kansas Rio will have a 9-11-inch beard and spurs ranging from 1 inch to 1 3/4 inches.  Now and then, we will kill a bird with spurs as long as 2 inches.  

HUNTING AND LICENSE FEES:

Kansas non-resident Turkey tags are $62.50 (called a permit). The Kansas non-resident hunting license (required) is $99.50.   Non-resident Youth Turkey tag costs $12.50. Your hunt price includes lodging, guide, and transportation during the day.  We do not provide the meals, but our spacious lodge has 3 fully furnished kitchens, several gas grills, 4 baths, separate bedrooms, bedding, and all the linens (beds made fresh before you arrive). All you need is your hunting gear and food; everything else is provided.  If there is anything you need, our lodge is located only 7 miles from Minneapolis, Kansas, where you will find all the basic needs - gas stations, grocery stores, liquor stores, and restaurants. We at Pipe Creek Guide Service want to ensure your experience with us is everything you expect. We only like to take one group at a time to make sure everyone has a great hunt. Therefore, we require a $100.00 deposit as soon as you’ve decided on your dates to secure them. After the hunt, relax in our 5,200 square foot lodge with all the comforts of home, kick back and watch a movie on one of the big flat screen TVs, or just plain crash on the couch because you have chased our wild and crazy Kansas Rio Grande Turkeys all day. Either way, we will set you up for a trip of a lifetime!
