Kansas to offer special hunting access

Exclusive access to land not normally open to hunting and above-average success rates might sound like an expensive hunting lease, but it’s not. The Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks’ Special Hunts program provides hundreds of such hunts each fall and winter at no charge. All a hunter has to do is apply and be selected.

KDWP’s Special Hunts program offers hunting opportunities with limited access to public and private lands, including select refuge areas, for deer, upland game, waterfowl, doves, turkey and furbearers.

This fall and winter, KDWP is offering more than 350 individual “Special Hunt” opportunities through one draw, as opposed to multiple draws in previous years. The application period is open now through July 28. For more information, visit https://ksoutdoors.com/Hunting/Special-Hunts-Information.
