Sign in to contribute

Seward County in the southwest Kansas Cimarron Lowlands presents flat shortgrass plains and sandy Cimarron River bottomlands in one of the most remote hunting destinations in the state. White-tailed deer use the riparian corridors along the Cimarron while pheasant occupy upland CRP and native grass areas. Access is almost entirely by landowner permission, keeping pressure extremely low for those who secure entry.

Terrain & elevation

Flat to gently rolling shortgrass plains of the southwest Kansas Cimarron Lowlands; the Cimarron River forms the southern border providing riparian woodland cover of cottonwood and sand sage; broad sandy creek beds and native bluestem grasslands interspersed with irrigation agriculture.

Hunting pressure

Very low; remote location and private-land dominance keep the vast majority of hunters out; those with landowner connections can find outstanding uncrowded hunting.

Tags & permits

Over-the-counter statewide deer tag; mule deer may be encountered in far southwest portions under general western Kansas deer regulations.

Species & seasons

Pheasant in upland areas can be good following wet years with strong grass production; the Cimarron River bottoms hold wild turkey; native grass areas support some bobwhite quail hunting opportunities.

Highlights

Cimarron River whitetail hunting with virtually zero pressure for hunters who secure landowner access; the remote shortgrass landscape offers an authentic and uncrowded southwest Kansas hunting experience.
