Many resident deer permits available without drawing

Wildlife and Parks is offering a number of resident deer permits that may be purchased without going through a drawing.

Applications for these permits are now available from KDWP offices or from the agency’s website, www.kdwp.state.ks.us.

Perhaps the most popular permit that may be purchased without going through the draw is the Whitetail Either Sex permit. This permit may be purchased only at Wildlife and Parks offices or through the mail. Hunters who have already obtained an antlered deer permit may not purchase this permit.

Whitetail Antlerless Only permits ($30.50) and Whitetail Antlerless Only Deer Game Tags ($10.50) may be purchased over the counter at county clerks’ offices, Wildlife and Parks offices, and many hunting equipment dealers.

Hunters may purchase one Whitetail Antlerless Only Deer permit and as many as four Whitetail Antlerless Only Deer Game Tags. Only two Deer Game Tags may be purchased for units 1, 2, 5, 10, 11, 14, 17, and 18.

In all other units, as many as four game tags may be used.

Whitetail Antlerless Only permits may be used anywhere in the unit specified on the permit.
