Our newest lodge (The Loft) was a hit during the 2025-2026 season. The Loft is set on 15 acres and features a mud room, four bedrooms, two full baths, 1/2 bath, full kitchen, dining, utility and living room. We are proud to be able to continue to make improvements for all of our past and new friends that come hunt with us in Kansas.
2025 Started of with a good amount of birds here for us. The temps were warm, so this made it a bit difficult to find a good concentration of birds. The birds were here, but just scattered. We put a lot of windshield time in to find the feeds and loaf ponds we needed to target. Ducks were out primary target all the way through December into January. Once January rolled around we started to get more seasonable temps. The goose hunting time was upon us, feeds started to build and birds started to group up due to the lower temps. There was a noticeable difference with the geese that were here though, most of them were lesser's. The tactics in the fields changed up for us in the fields and it paid in big dividends. Finishing flocks of 50 - 250 birds made for some happy hunters and some great shooting opportunities. Late January a artic blast rolls through, snow wind and sub zero temps. Ducks and geese were on the menu for us, as the conditions have finally arrived to make for some prime hunting conditions. We were not disappointed! We were fortunate enough to not get the snow depth they predicted, it was just enough to make the hide easy for us in any location. As the front passed and the temps stabilized for a week, feeds were consistent and made for some great hunts. As the duck season came to a close a warm up was on the horizon. This wasn't a subtle one either. Huge upward swing in temperatures and south winds, birds were heading north. Even with the birds making the push north, our late goose was a huge success.
Thank you to all of our hunters and land owners that allow us to do what we do. Plans are already in the works for the 2026 season. We hope all of our guests enjoyed the new lodge "The Loft". I know we are very proud of how it turned out and extremely happy to add it to the TAW Experience!
We look forward to getting our old and new friends in the field in 2026!

2025 TAW recap
Why TAW?
Lets talk about about how things are done here at TAW. We are scouting daily for the next days hunt, we are not locked down to just hunting our leases and have access to over 30,000 acres to hunt. We are always on the move to find new birds for the next days hunt. Rest assured we are working our tails off to get you the best hunt that Kansas has to offer.
We hunt out of laydown blinds, permanent blinds, A-frames and panel blinds in a wide variety of settings. Ponds, sloughs, rivers, naturally flooded fields, dry fields..... if the birds are there, then that's where we will be too.
Do you want to hunt with ONLY your group and lodge ONLY with your group? You're at the right spot. We do not mix groups in the field or in the lodge. Yes, you heard right! These are private guided hunts. We know that it can be uncomfortable getting put with other hunters that you don't know, so this is why we continue to offer 100% private hunts for your group. This is your hunt, so we want makes sure it is the best experience for you and your group.
