The Top Five Reasons to Hunt the Double K

1. No public lands. Kansas is world famous for its huge bucks, trophy turkeys and limits of large ringnecks. Yet myths abound, particularly with Kansas pheasants. Often outdoor magazines regale readers with tales of merely driving up to a farmhouse somewhere, knocking, making some polite conversation and then getting permission to hunt prime lands easy as can be. Free hunting! Or even better is the idea that you can drive to Kansas, grab a map to public lands and have a great rooster hunt, again, all for free.  Let’s understand now that the idea that you can have a great hunt "on the cheap" in Kansas is a fairy tale bigger than Cinderella. Kansas farmers aren’t stupid. They know exactly what good hunting is worth, and either lease their land to guide services, hunt it themselves, or save it for their friends. Be assured: you will find plenty of "No Trespassing" and "No Hunting" signs in Kansas.

Is there no hunting on public land in Kansas? Sure there is. And late season, after the crowds have thoroughly rampaged through the public areas the first several weeks of the season, some birds can probably be found there. But are you ready to drive a long ways, buy an out of state license, pay for shells and other expenses only to find you don’t really have any good place to hunt?

Be careful: some guide services hunt clients on Kansas’ public lands. You can’t expect good results on low quality over-hunted land just because you’re accompanied by a guide! That is why the first question you need to ask any guide you talk to is "Will we be hunting on any public land?" The Double K is ready to answer that question: absolutely not! You’ll hunt on our farm land, specially cultivated and farmed for maximum wildlife habitat, and the land we lease from other area farmers – not public land.

Yes, you can come to Kansas in October and hunt with someone who raises pheasants in captivity, releases a couple of dozen and announces "the hunt" is on. Right. Hunting domesticated tame pheasants who don’t know whether to fly or sit up and beg for bird seed is not hunting, and it certainly is not anything akin to hunting for real Kansas ringnecks. The Kansas pheasant is wily, elusive, large, daring, and provides a real hunting challenge. That means the hunter who bags a real Kansas rooster knows a thrill that hunting put out birds can not even begin to approximate. Don’t accept substitutes, particularly a miserably poor substitute like pen-raised pheasants.

3. Top flight experienced guides that are on the land year around and know the wildlife.

Great land with lots of birds and deer is a great start. A guide that knows the animals and the land takes it to an entirely different level. Because the Double K’s guides are on their land year around they know the habitat, they know the wildlife, and they especially know the birds. That big covey of quail that is always in the fencerow when they planted in the spring, the deer that feed down in the hollow, and the roosters that blew out the end of the field in front of the combines give them an insight other guides don’t have. Where will the birds be in the middle of the day? Ever seen a couple of dozen roosters fly into roosting cover for the night from a field of cut milo? Have you watched a big buck take a few tentative steps out in a clearing right before sun up? Our guides have, and they know what the wildlife is doing right now!

Have you seen those websites with quotes from supposed clients like this?

     "What a great hunt!" –TD, Waco, Texas

     "I hunt with Joe every year - he’s the best" –JK, Minneapolis, MN

But who are "TD" and "JK?" Are these real people? Are these fabricated quotes? Could they be the guide’s brother in laws? How about real references from real hunters who regularly hunt with us?

It doesn’t get mentioned often enough but hunting is done with firearms that could kill or mutilate you very quickly and very permanently.  Therefore, safety must always be at a premium. So it is with the Double K. If your plan is to be three sheets to the wind by 7:30 a.m. plan to hunt after lunch, okay? If you think it’s kind of funny to point your gun at others and then say "Oh, it’s unloaded" plan to hunt with someone else! We don’t just talk about hunting safety, we do it. That means communication between hunters and blockers, safe shooting lanes, walking with gun barrels up, and more. At the Double K you’ll be hunting safe - for us, there is simply no other way.

Conclusions:

Add it all up and we think you’ll see quickly that the Double K is the place you want to come and hunt. There is just no place like Kansas for great hunting of every kind, and there is no place in Kansas like the Double K!
