Sign in to contribute

Reno County straddles the Arkansas River corridor in south-central Kansas, mixing river-bottom timber, irrigated cropland, and Cheney Reservoir into a versatile multi-species hunting landscape. Waterfowl hunting on Cheney Reservoir draws regional hunters chasing geese and ducks pushing through the Central Flyway. Whitetail and pheasant round out a county that delivers multiple seasons of legitimate opportunity within reach of the Wichita metro.

Terrain & elevation

Arkansas River floodplain with cottonwood-willow timber; upland mixed-grass and cropland transitioning west; Cheney Reservoir occupies the northwest portion of the county.

Hunting pressure

Moderate to high around Cheney Reservoir during peak waterfowl migration; deer and pheasant pressure moderate and concentrated near public access points.

Tags & permits

OTC resident tags; standard Kansas archery, firearm, and muzzleloader seasons; Wichita proximity means early archery season gets pressure fast.

Species & seasons

Cheney Reservoir is a Central Flyway waterfowl destination with Canada geese and multiple duck species staging in fall; pheasant huntable in upland crop-CRP edges; wild turkey in Arkansas River timber.

Highlights

Cheney Reservoir waterfowl action during fall migration; diverse multi-species county combining ducks, pheasant, and whitetail within range of Wichita.
