About this unit
AI-compiled · sourcedSherman County in the far northwest corner of Kansas delivers classic High Plains hunting on flat-to-rolling shortgrass prairie with the Arikaree River breaks offering unique canyon terrain along the Colorado border. Pheasant are the primary draw across vast wheat and CRP acreage while mule deer use creek drainages and CRP margins throughout the county. Sherman ranks among the least pressured counties in Kansas thanks to its extreme remoteness and sparse population.
High Plains shortgrass prairie in the far northwest corner of Kansas; flat to gently rolling terrain with Republican River tributary drainages to the north and the Arikaree River breaks along the Colorado border; cropland agriculture dominates with wheat, corn, and sorghum interspersed with CRP; very limited tree cover except in creek draws.
Very low; one of the least-populated counties in Kansas with minimal hunting competition statewide.
Over-the-counter; mule deer are available under general western Kansas deer tags in this far-west unit.
Pheasant are the primary upland game species with numbers that can rival the state best in strong years; mule deer use creek drainages and CRP edges throughout the county; limited but present wild turkey in creek-bottom timber; pronghorn have been documented near the Colorado line in far northwestern portions.
Sherman County offers high-plains pheasant hunting with rooster numbers among the best in Kansas during good years; the Arikaree drainage provides mule deer and unique canyon hunting terrain unlike most of the state.
