Look into Fort Riley. It is open to the public and has a ton of turkey on it.

Numerous Corps lakes with land managed by KDWP surrounding them offer excellent turkey hunting.

Almost every lake in the state of Kansas has some hunting ground around it.

Are You looking to hunt Eastern's or Rio's?

What Dennis said, there is tons of WIHA land to be hunted thats full of long beards and big bucks. Central kansas seems not to get the fame to be a hot spot as much as other parts of the state so there should be less hunting pressure. Good luck

So many turkey's around you shouldn't have any problems at all. Most public land hunting spot's around here have plenty, What part of Kansas have you been looking at  :archer:

Had four turkeys within 10 yards of me this afternoon.  Trouble was they were on the other side of the big Cottonwood log I was using for a blind.

There is never a shortage of turkey's here. I agree with the Walk-in that everyone has been talking about. I spent some time on walk-in this year chasing mulies and saw a bunch of turkeys. I never saw another hunter. Tripper

As someone said, most of the resivors in this state have public hunting on them. To narrow it down we need to know what part of Kansas you are planning on hunting. Middle to eastern Kansas you will see more Eastern turkeys. Central Kansas is full of Rio's. Kansas doesn't have very much public land but they are getting better with the walk-in programs. Glenn

I figured I would get in on this thread.  My wife is from Lawrence and we just returned from Christmas vacation there.  We were thinking of returning in the spring and I want to try and arrow a turkey.  I have access to some land but was wondering what else might be possible around there.

Do you mean unit 1, I hunted mule deer out there many times but I can't say that I have seen that many turkey's. There's a lot of walk in out there also.

It's all easterns around here, I don't think there are any true Rio's anyway. They do cross breed just like the deer.
