Located on the Smoky Hill River, this property offers pristine DIY waterfowl hunting opportunities. Hunters must bring any chairs and blinds. Located in a rural area west of Solomon, KS, this area receives minimal hunting pressure. Hunters must make sure to bring all required licenses and tags. Also, all hunters must abide by Kansas state rules and laws. Limits and regulations still apply. SPEEDING OVER 15mph ON PRIVATE ROADS WILL RESULT IN FINES.
This property is primarily made up of agricultural fields following a meandering stream with excellent cover on its banks, providing excellent habitat for waterfowl. You are likely to find a large variety of ducks including the iconic wood duck, as well as snow geese, Canada geese, mallards, and much more. The ability to bag such a great variety of birds makes Booner Palace a must-hunt spot this fall.

Beautiful property. Ducks CLEARLY utilize this section of the river post feed., droves of ducks overhead from 0830-1100. It can be difficult to access the river from certain points due to the bank steepness/briar patch leading to it. There isn't an obvious trail. A guy with waders can walk the river along the bank and find a spot with entry at the WEST end of the property being easiest, the EAST end is nearly impossible to access river from field side (north). Main concern would be placing decoys, retrieving down birds. A guy with waders or a kayak and a pull sled would have more luck here - entering, again, at West end and locating spot to set up. This was difficult to discern in pre shooting hour darkness, I hope this helps. I would describe the river hunt as mildly challenging but well worth it, you can shoot ducks here for sure, hope these tips help.
