About this unit

Sign in to contribute

Morton County anchors the far southwest corner of Kansas where shortgrass prairie and sandhills meet the Cimarron River corridor. The Cimarron National Grassland provides over 100,000 acres of public land making this one of the most accessible counties in western Kansas for hunters seeking mule deer and pronghorn. Remote location and vast open terrain draw hunters willing to cover miles for genuine high-plains solitude.

Terrain & elevation

Shortgrass prairie, sandhills, and Cimarron River breaks in the far southwest corner of Kansas. Adobe hills and canyon topography in the Cimarron National Grassland add structural diversity to the otherwise flat High Plains.

Hunting pressure

Low. Remote location, long drives from population centers, and limited water sources keep pressure minimal outside designated grassland trailheads.

Tags & permits

Over-the-counter deer licenses available statewide; mule deer tags are available for western Kansas zones. Verify current KDWP regulations for zone-specific rules.

Species & seasons

Mule deer inhabit the canyon breaks and sandhills of the Cimarron Grassland. Pronghorn are present on open prairie and can be combined with a deer hunt. Wild turkey use the Cimarron River cottonwood corridor.

Highlights

Cimarron National Grassland is one of the largest blocks of public hunting land in Kansas and the premier destination for mixed mule deer and pronghorn hunts in a single trip.
