What Is Show Me Birds Pheasant Hunting?

Updated

Show Me Birds Pheasant Hunting is a pheasant hunting resort in Kansas that describes itself as "America's largest pheasant hunting resort." It offers guided field hunts, a European-style pheasant shoot, and a skeet range, with professional staff and trained gundogs on a Kansas farm. It suits hunters who want a guided, dog-driven hunt with released birds rather than walking public or leased grain fields on their own.

What the Resort Offers

The site organizes its hunting products into three main options, each with its own pricing and information page:

Offering What it involves
Traditional Field Hunts Guided hunts on a Kansas farm with professional staff, flying birds, and trained gundogs
European Pheasant Shooting A high-volume shoot at hundreds of pheasants, modeled on a program the owner learned in Spain
Skeet Range & Pheasant Fury A skeet range about half a mile from the clubhouse, used by hunters arriving the evening before a morning hunt

The site also lists membership and company events among its navigation options, and notes that shotgun shells are available for hunters on site.

How a Traditional Field Hunt Works

The site's own comparison explains the model clearly. On a do-it-yourself trip to western Kansas, South Dakota, or Iowa, a group lines up and walks miles of grain fields; even when a bird flushes, everyone shoots and no one is sure who connected. At Show Me Birds, by contrast, a guide releases several pointing dogs, hunters watch the dogs work, take turns shooting, and the site states plainly that "you will see plenty of birds."

That contrast is the key mechanism: you are paying for controlled bird release, working dogs, and a guide who manages the sequence, not for wild-bird habitat and walk-in access.

Booking and Practical Details

  • Booking: The site provides a "Book Your Hunt" option online, plus a "Book Your Hunt Online" link in the page body.
  • Hunt dates: The site does not publish a calendar on the page; it asks hunters to email [email protected] and says dates will be emailed back.
  • Pricing: Each offering has its own "Pricing & Information" page. The homepage itself does not list rates, so check the specific hunt page before committing.
  • Location and contact: A "Contact Us & Map" page is in the navigation for directions and questions.

What Other Hunters Say

The homepage includes short testimonials, including from John Ivey (sales manager, QuikTrip Corp.), Ron White Sr., and Mike Loewe of Oklahoma, with a "Read More Hunter Feedback" link for the full set. These are promotional quotes hosted by the resort, so treat them as the operator's own selection rather than independent reviews.

Who It Fits

Choose Show Me Birds if you want a guided hunt with dogs and guaranteed bird contact, are bringing friends or family who value watching dogs work, or want to warm up on a skeet range the night before. Look elsewhere if you specifically want a wild-bird, walk-in public-land hunt, or if you need published prices and dates before making contact — for those, email the resort directly or check each hunt page first.
