Sign in to contribute

Osborne County in north-central Kansas is Post Rock country where limestone fencepost geology defines both the cultural and physical landscape of the Solomon River valley. Creek-bottom whitetail hunting combines with productive pheasant opportunities on the surrounding upland crop ground and native pasture. The county is rural and relatively lightly pressured, rewarding hunters who invest in building landowner relationships in this agricultural community.

Terrain & elevation

Solomon River valley with limestone uplands, cedar and cottonwood creek draws, and rolling agricultural cropland. The Post Rock landscape features exposed limestone outcrops that provide structural cover in an otherwise open setting.

Hunting pressure

Low to moderate. Limited outside hunter pressure and a rural population that generally retains hunting access makes this a workable county for hunters willing to knock on doors.

Tags & permits

Over-the-counter licenses; whitetail hunting is primarily creek-bottom and draw-based with deer using the timber as refuge against the open uplands.

Species & seasons

Pheasant are present in crop-edge habitats and CRP ground across the county. Turkey have expanded into the creek timber throughout the Solomon drainage. Milo fields attract large concentrations of deer and turkey during harvest.

Highlights

The Solomon River corridor provides consistent whitetail hunting in a classic north-central Kansas agricultural setting with the added bonus of good pheasant country in the surrounding uplands.
