About this unit
AI-compiled · sourcedFinney County covers high plains southwest Kansas centered on Garden City, where the Arkansas River corridor cuts through intensively farmed shortgrass tableland. Whitetail concentrate in dense cottonwood and tamarisk bottomlands while mule deer and pronghorn roam surrounding rangeland. The Finney Game Refuge near Garden City offers rare public access in an otherwise private-land dominated landscape.
Flat to gently rolling high plains shortgrass prairie and pivot-irrigated cropland bisected by the Arkansas River riparian corridor with cottonwood and tamarisk bottoms.
Low to moderate. Limited public land but sprawling private operations offer opportunity for hunters who secure access.
Over-the-counter archery and firearm tags.
Mule deer present in river breaks and open rangeland; pronghorn on surrounding shortgrass; ring-necked pheasant in agricultural areas; limited waterfowl on the Arkansas River.
Arkansas River corridor holds underrated whitetail numbers in cottonwood bottoms largely overlooked by most hunters. Combination mule deer and pronghorn hunts are possible on private ranches in this thinly populated southwest county.
