Welcome to Bell Wildlife Specialties | www.bellwildlife.com
Our mission is to provide our clients access to some of the best hunting in Kansas. If you are looking for Boone & Crockett whitetail deer, wild turkey, quail, prairie chicken, predators or dove, we have it all.
We promote youth hunters, as there is no thrill greater than a youth harvesting their first turkey or deer. We do this by offering special rates for youths. We also have hosted the Pass It On- Outdoor Mentors youth program annually since 2002 by having the kids up during the youth turkey season and in 2007 our first whitetail deer hunt.
Pass It On - Outdoor Mentors works to find mentors for children who want to experience the great outdoors we all know and love. Teaming with Big Brothers Big Sisters, who have over 100 years of mentoring experience, we can make a difference in the lives of children across the country.
We also support wildlife organizations such as RMEF, NWTF, Friends of NRA, DU, Quail Unlimited, Safari Club International, Whitetail Unlimited, to name a few.
You can choose from our basic hunt plans or we can accommodate hunters with special needs or customize a hunt to your specifications.
We offer lodging in 3 different buildings, including a rustic 2-story limestone building built in 1900. We can accommodate 20 anxious hunters. You will be well fed and rested for the next day's hunt.
Mounts on display in our shop After you bag your Kansas whitetail deer, we have available meat processing and taxidermy all in house! With Bell Wildlife Specialties there are no worries.
Our down home family atmosphere and hospitality is free of charge.
Quail
With many acres of milo, corn and soybeans, quail and prairie chicken do well. We also have limited numbers of pheasant as a bonus. Daily limits of quail and prairie chicken are frequent, so if upland bird hunting is your pleasure, join us for a great time.
