Hunting Kansas from Timberhill Lodge

Timberhill Lodge is a great place to use as a base for your hunting trips in Kansas.

Timberhill Lodge is located in the southeastern corner of Kansas in the Chautauqua Hills. Rolling tallgrass prairie is dotted with thickly timbered bottoms and draws. Underlying sandstone protects the grasslands, and the croplands are restricted to streambottoms. The region provides excellent deer, turkey and quail hunting.

The Cherokee Lowlands distinguish the southeastern corner with thick brush and timber, and rich coal resources. In recent years, thousands of acres, once strip mined for coal, have been reclaimed to native vegetation. The Mined Land Wildlife area was donated to the department for public use. The area provides deer, quail, squirrel, rabbit and turkey hunting, as well as fishing in the hundreds of strip mine lakes.

In the far southeast lies the Ozark Plateau. This is the wettest region of the state, receiving more than 40 inches of rain annually. Heavy timber, dissected by streams and broken with small cropfields, make this area ideal for deer, turkey, squirrel, and rabbit hunting. Bobwhite quail are found on the edge areas between timber, grass, and croplands.

Most deer hunters know, Kansas produces some of the biggest Trophy Whitetail Deer in the country.
