Located near the city of Great Bend in central Kansas, Cheyenne Bottoms Wildlife Area has become synonymous with waterfowl hunting, and as one of the largest inland marshes in the United States, this 20,000-acre wetland complex provides a variety of hunting opportunities for freelancers waterfowlers.

“Mud motors and boat blinds, walk-in hunting, concrete permanent blinds, even pass shooting—there’s something for everyone,” says Tom Bidrowski, migratory game bird manager with the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks. “It’s one of the reasons Cheyenne Bottoms has become a destination for so many hunters.”

Waterfowlers who would like to avoid the crowds can try one of the state’s many other public hunting areas, Bidrowski says, including Jamestown Wildlife Area in north-central Kansas and nearby McPherson Wildlife Area. Both areas were restored in partnership with Ducks Unlimited, providing prime habitat for waterfowl and great public hunting opportunities.

  1. evidently, whoever wrote this article hasn’t hunted the Bottoms since the dawn of Wiley Wantabee, and muchless during the last 4 years of drought . I have to wonder how some of the worst cattail encoachment and management there of in the great plains, poor to no water and food plot management,, the compete sham of boat ramp and road maintance, the piles of bricks dumped into the pools just below the water surface combined with the total disregard to limits and shooting times by vast numbers hunting parties due to an financially strapped and and understaffed game warden system in this state can be considered the best duck hunting in the nation. and your are nothing short of a simpleton to even remotely consider hunting out of those rattlesnake infested, crumbling, leaking concrete blinds
