Our newest lodge (The Ridge) was a hit during the 2023 season. The Ridge is set on 30 acres and features a mud room, five bedrooms, two full baths, 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.

The recap for 2024 started off with mild temps, we targeted primarily ducks through late November into the late part of December. It started with mild to normal temps in December and then the elements started to kick in. January came in with a punch - cold temps, ice and snow that lasted the whole month. These conditions were a little extreme and not what we were hoping for. I am very proud to say the TAW crew managed these conditions phenomenal, with a well thought out game plan. The dynamics of this extended cold front made the execution of the hunting and scouting more of a challenge. With lots of strategizing we managed to make the best of these difficult conditions and kept the hunts successful. After the cold temps broke the snow cover lessened, causing the birds to branch out further from the roosts to find new feeds and water. We made some moves on some leads we had on some birds in different and it paid off. As the season moved on, the temps began to rise more with the south winds pushing in and big waves of birds began to migrate back north. Definitely no shortage of birds for us at this time. The only issue was the mud with all of the snow melt and frost that was thawing out. We had to get creative for access to fields and were rewarded with a strong finish to the season.

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 2025 season. We are looking to add some new features to "The Oaks" that will make that lodge even better.

We look forward to getting our old and new friends in the field in 2025!

2024 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.
