Welcome to Gillespie Family Farms here in Gove County, Kansas! 

Corn and milo provide feed and structure depending on the time of year, and the combination of grain and grassy draws gives roosters everything they need. Quail are present on the property, working the draw edges and transitional cover between crop fields and open ground. The mix of grain crops and native draw cover gives the birds the kind of edge habitat they favor on western Kansas farmground.

We're seeing a lot of roosters running around, plus lots of quail.

We are located in between Grainfield and Grinnell with habitat consisting of dryland farmground and western Kansas plains. My family has worked this country since 1907, and I've farmed it my entire life, living in the same house I was born in. Now my youngest son farms alongside me, and between us we run a cow/calf and grain operation that produces wheat, corn, and milo. 

The total acreage is comprised of 4 different tracts about 5-15 miles apart from each other, giving hunters some options on where to set up throughout the day.

With I-70 within a few miles, getting here from Colby or further east along the interstate is straightforward. Grainfield is two miles out if you need fuel or a quick stop before you head to the field.

Please park on the side of the road where our parcels are, not on any neighboring roadside. And if you have a good day out here, we'd love to see your success photos.
