hunting
We are excited to now offer preserve style pheasant hunts here at The Rut 'N Strut Lodge. These are great hunts for anyone looking for guaranteed bird encounters. These hunts are conducted on 1200 acres near our lodge enrolled in a "Controlled Shooting area (CSA)". Pheasants are released on this property prior to the hunt (70% roosters, 30% Hens). Hunting within the CSA allows for an extended season (September 1st -April 30th), the opportunity to shoot both roosters and hens and no harvest limits. A special "CSA"hunting license ($27.50) or a standard KS hunting license is all that is needed to be able to hunt. These hunts are offered as both DIY unguided or fully guided.
These hunts are enjoyed by:
Those looking to get their bird dogs tuned up and in shape for the season
Kids and those new to hunting
In the field education is taught including gun safety, hunting strategy, bird identification, and harvested game care.
