Hugoton, Dodge City, Garden City, Jetmore, Liberal, Ulysses, Cimarron and Elkhart are pleased to announce the Fifth Annual Pheasant Hunting Contest.
During this year’s hunting season, 575 pheasants will be banded on the leg and released in Stevens County near Hugoton, in Ford County near Dodge City, in Finney County near Garden City, in Grant County near Ulysses, in Hodgeman County near Jetmore, in Seward County near Liberal, in Gray County near Cimarron and in Morton County near Elkhart. If you are lucky enough to bag one of the banded pheasants, bring your leg band to one of the approved locations to register your leg band and claim your prize!
Kansas consistently ranks as one of the top three when compared to other states’ annual harvest of pheasants. With 185,000 acres of walk-in hunting land open to hunters in southwest Kansas, this area will give you a shot at cash and eight grand prizes.
Once you register the leg band at an approved location (listed below), you will automatically receive a “Rooster Roundup” hat and a community gift worth at least $10.00.
At that time, your leg band will also be entered into a drawing to win a grand prize of $500.00 in community gift certificate “bucks” (one per community – eight total) to be used for purchases of the winner’s choice.
The “Rooster Roundup” Pheasant Contest runs from November 10, 2018 to January 31, 2019.
If your bagged bird has one of the leg bands, you must bring the leg band to one of the approved locations to register your band and claim your prize!
Drawing for the grand prize for “Rooster Roundup” will take place after the end of the contest January 31, 2019. Winners will be contacted by phone.
