Kansas Hunting Trips
Welcome to the Pipe Creek Guide Service website! We offer trophy whitetail deer hunting, turkey hunting, upland bird, and predator hunting in Kansas. We hunt on 15,000 exclusive acres of private land in and around the Minneapolis, Kansas area. We are located about 25 miles north of Salina, Kansas off of interstate I-135. Pipe Creek Guide Service is in units 7 and 8 on private land in Ottawa, Cloud, and Saline counties. We have around 300 ladder stands, 50 box blinds, and lots of ground blinds in wood-lots along river and creek bottoms, with crops weaving in and out of these bottoms. Check out our hunts pages for more information. Please feel free to contact us anytime! We look forward to bring you the hunting adventure you have always dreamed of!
Predator hunting in Kansas has become very popular because of its abundant game and wildlife. Rolling hills, timbered river and creek bottoms, crops, CRP grass as high as your head, and miles of grassland with wooded draws hold tons of Turkeys, Deer, Pheasant, Quail, and rodents of all kinds. Therefore the food source and cover is endless for the Coyote, Bobcats, and the infamous coon. With the main part of our business being Kansas Deer and Turkey hunting, we need constant predator control. The Kansas Coyote, and Bobcat hunts have become a very fun and challenging experience for us.
The Coyote population in our area of the state has absolutely exploded over the past couple of years and are causing everyone grief. Hated by the farmers they are killing baby calves daily in the spring and fall, chasing deer all during deer season and are just a menace to us. The Bobcat is the sneaky elusive creature with the highly priced pelt that everyone wants at least one of for a mount. Fur prices are just like all commodities constantly going up and down but either way they make a great rug or mount. The weather movement is totally unpredictable, but a hunter should have ample opportunities at either critter on a couple day hunt. We recommend that one should hunt for at least 3 days to accommodate weather conditions. Trapping is welcomed if one would like we can set several areas while the hunter is here and check them daily as well.
Pipe Creek Guide Service is located in Minneapolis, Kansas which is north of Salina, Kansas 25 miles just off of interstate I135. We built our lodge in 2001 and added on to it in 2009. We hunt on 13,000+ acres leased primarily for Whitetail deer hunting and turkey hunting, but we also do Pheasant hunts and predator hunts. These leases consist of 45 farms of river and creek bottom ground some have pasture and CRP grass on them along with crop ground.
Whether you’re interested in guided calling on our farms or would like to try your hand at trapping, we can accommodate it all. We are charging $450.00 a day and highly recommend 3 days at least for this hunt, we can do weekends or whatever works for your schedule. Lodging in our lodge is included. There is no limit on Coyotes you can shoot as many as you like we want you to!! The Bobcats are a little different; Kansas considers them a fur-bearing animal so a non resident can purchase a tag over the counter for $100.00 for one Bobcat. If the hunter wants several and plans to stay several days to accomplish that you can buy a fur harvester permit through the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks that will allow you to sell pelts if you want, or just harvest more than one Bobcat.
Come stay in our spacious 3500 square foot lodge built with the hunter in mind we have separate bedrooms, 4 baths, big flat screen TVs, Elk horn chandeliers, 3 fully furnished kitchens with all the spices and utensils, all the way down to the coffee and filters. There are several gas grills on site as well if you want to do some grilling. We do not provide the meals but we have all the accommodations for you to cook if you want. We are located just 7 miles from the town of Minneapolis, Kansas where you can find most anything you could need grocery stores, liquor stores, gas stations, restaurants, etc… We can provide the evening meal for a small additional fee if you would like provided arrangements are made ahead of time. We (the guides) want to spend our time trying to make sure the hunters have a good hunt and are seeing the Monster Kansas Bucks, not cooking. If arrangements are made ahead of time we can take care of it generally my wife has it catered or brought in by an excellent local cook.
All little bit about us and what we love to do!
We are located in the North Central part of the state just 25 miles north of Salina, Kansas on I135. We are only 7 miles from the small town of Minneapolis, Kansas. Family owned and operated by Todd and Rachel Griffin. We are blessed with the help of a long time childhood friend, Kent Constable and our two sons, Stuart and Grant.
We manage 13,000 plus acres of Prime River and creek bottom ground in Ottawa, Saline, and Cloud Counties. We offer Kansas Trophy Deer Hunts, Kansas Turkey Hunts (Rio Grandes), and Kansas Pheasant hunts. This is truly the home of Kansas Trophy Whitetail Deer!!
Kent Constable is an avid hunter in all concepts and all angles. He loves to hunt Whitetail Deer, Turkeys, Waterfowl of all kinds, Predators, and he is a Trapper. The Trapping skills and his love for bow hunting is a great help in tree stand placement for us. Those skills lead him to be a master of finding pinch points in places that most would never believe existed. He also makes custom predator calls out of our famous Kansas Whitetail Deer antler.
Our Sons Stuart and Grant are Growing up fast many of our hunters have watched them grow from little boys to the young men they are today. Stuart now 23 has been to welding school and has worked all over oklahoma and northern Texas on pipeline jobs, coming home every chance he had to hunt and help out when needed. He has been the one who got the job of filling feeders, fixing blinds, putting up signs, picking up deer, along with the occasional dropping off and picking up of hunters. He was the first to drive so he has had many early morning and late night jobs. Stuart is now starting a outfitting business called (Post Rock Outfitters) in Lincoln county Kansas offering all the same great hunts in a new area. We are excited to say the least. We will continue to work together I will help him and he will help me as well. Grant is now 20 and has graduated from welding school and is on the road alot. When he is here he helps with the feeder filling, tracking deer, helping me get guys in and out of the field, guiding when needed and a lot of other jobs that need to be done. Both boys are very good hunters and hard workers great partners to have in our family business.
Rachel is the one whom organizes everything and sees that it gets done, and on time. Not counting our home life, she cleans the Lodge, does all the book work, takes care of the bird dogs (all 6 of them), and sometimes cooks for the hunters. She also is the secretary and collection manager for my father’s business Griffin’s Contracting. Oh ya and if that’s not enough for her to do, she also is an RCA carrier for the post office in Minneapolis. Without her I can honestly say Pipe Creek Guide Service wouldn't’t be here today. As my little Grandma once told me behind every successful man there's a better woman.
I have been a hunter since the day I was born just like Kent; we were raised hunting every chance we got. For many years during college and shortly after I guided Kansas Pheasant and Quail hunts all around Ottawa, Cloud, and Saline Counties. I started Pipe Creek Guide Service in 1999 the year Kansas decided to let non residents hunt our giant Kansas Whitetail Deer. Of course I was anxious to kick it into high gear when that happened. I work for my family's contracting business about 3 months of the year and the rest of the time I am dedicated to Pipe Creek Guide Service.
Here at Pipe Creek Guide Service we start hanging and trimming tree stands around the first of August up until the Kansas Muzzle Loader hunts start in late Sept.. Then in October were back at it checking trail cameras, filling feeders, and finishing any stands we didn't get to earlier. Most of the time I try to take off with my sons and my dad somewhere hunting Colorado or Wyoming for a week in mid October for a little stress relief before it really gets crazy at the beginning of November. That’s the prime time to be in a tree stand if you want to put a tag on a Monster Kansas Trophy Deer.
We bow hunt all of November and then the rifle season starts the first Wednesday after Thanksgiving. The Kansas Deer hunting season is only Twelve days for gun so we offer two 5 day hunts. When that is done we then start our Kansas Pheasant / Quail hunts.
We hunt Pheasant and Quail until the end of January which is the end of the Kansas season. The actual Kansas Pheasant hunting season starts the second weekend in November and runs through the last day of January. I generally take those clients on my own unless there is a large group. I really don’t like to take pheasant hunters any earlier than about the 15th of December. I really want to focus on the Kansas Whitetail hunts in November and early December.
In February I’m off from Pipe Creek Guide Service so I then go to town and help my father in his contracting business or work on the farm fixing fence digging ponds etc… There is never any end to farm work and it’s always waiting on us.
February is also time to start filling feeders for the Turkeys until April when the Kansas Turkey season starts. We hunt the beautiful Rio Grandes in our area and the greatest part of it is you can get two of them! The Kansas Turkey season last until the end of May, so naturally I go back to work in town for the month of June and July before we start it all over again!!! That’s our life in a nut shell I admit it’s a little nutty but we somehow continue to deal with it and in some strange way it’s normal to us.
