There’s just something about a rolling CRP farm on the plains of Central and Western Kansas that is like a magnet for whitetail deer and upland birds. Anyone who has hunted these types of farms can relate to the incredible enjoyment of watching a Booner whitetail work his way through the ‘openness’ of a CRP field, only to watch them magically disappear in the blink of an eye. Whitetails love to bed in the warm season grasses during the fall and winter months and the colder it gets, the more the deer maximize it's security and protection from the elements. The tall varieties of bluestem and switchgrass blends, among others, can also work to the advantage of the hunter when playing the wind and rut conditions correctly. Many trophy bucks are harvested throughout this part of the state each year by way of a successful spot and stalk hunt with a bow. This can be one of the most challenging and rewarding methods of hunting prairie whitetails. Of course, the tremendous habitat provided by CRP is also very beneficial to all other wildlife inhabiting this region. Most notably, the ringneck pheasant, which thrives in this area and is most commonly found in a reasonably sized field of CRP like this specific farm.
