About this unit
AI-compiled · sourcedMitchell County is anchored by Glen Elder Reservoir (Waconda Lake), a major Corps of Engineers impoundment on the Solomon River that serves as a significant waterfowl migration stopover and holds good deer numbers along its timbered shoreline. Pheasant hunting on the county's grain fields and CRP tracts draws dedicated upland hunters each fall. The combination of reservoir waterfowl, upland pheasant, and creek-bottom deer makes Mitchell a legitimate mixed-bag destination.
Rolling mixed-grass hills of north-central Kansas with the Solomon River dammed to form Glen Elder Reservoir; timbered creek drainages mix with wheat and milo fields
Moderate — reservoir draws waterfowlers but deer hunting pressure remains manageable away from the lake
Over-the-counter; no antler restrictions
Glen Elder Reservoir is a significant migration stop for ducks and Canada geese; pheasant numbers solid with adequate CRP
Glen Elder Reservoir is one of north-central Kansas top public-land waterfowl destinations; genuine mixed-bag potential with pheasant, deer, and waterfowl
