About this unit
Sign in to contributeBrown County anchors the northeast corner of Kansas where Missouri River bottomlands give way to rolling tallgrass prairie and productive row-crop agriculture. The county offers a mix of river-bottom timber hunting and open agricultural fields that concentrate deer during the rut. Turkey hunting is productive in the creek-bottom hardwoods flanking the Missouri corridor.
Missouri River bottomland, rolling upland prairie, creek-bottom hardwoods, row-crop agriculture including corn and soybeans
Indian Paintbrush WMA, Hiawatha City Lake area, some Corps of Engineers access along the Missouri River corridor
Moderate; proximity to the Nebraska border draws some nonresident traffic but overall pressure remains manageable
OTC deer license; antlerless licenses available
Wild turkey populations are strong in the Missouri River hardwoods; waterfowl hunting available on Missouri River oxbow sloughs and backwater areas
Missouri River bottomland timber produces consistent mature bucks; one of northeast Kansas best options for combining public-land deer and turkey hunting
