Hunting Barton County
E
ven in turbulent times, there are still plenty of opportunities to enjoy the great outdoors through hunting and fishing in Barton County. Cheyenne Bottoms, the largest inland marsh in the United States, is located in Barton County, and the wildlife area remains open to the public for hunting, bird-watching, and many other outdoor activities. It is primarily a prairie marsh but also includes wet meadows, grasslands, agricultural land, shelterbelts and riparian areas.
Barton County’s wildlife diversity, including abundant waterfowl and upland game, along with a mix of public hunting areas and easily accessible walk-in hunting, make it the ideal place for hunting and fishing. It’s home to nearly 400 species of migrating birds and other wildlife. The Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism Area Wildlife Manager Jason Wagner (620-793-3066) oversees hunting at the Cheyenne Bottoms Wildlife Area north of Great Bend. For information about hunting seasons for the wide variety of species that make Cheyenne Bottoms home, pick up a current year schedule at the Kansas Wetlands Education Center or online at www. ksoutdoors.com. For 24 hour current conditions, phone 620-793-7730.
