Turkey permit forms downloadable online

Permit applications for the spring turkey season are online and available to download via the Internet.

Both resident and nonresident permits for units 1, 2 and 3 will be available over the counter at Wildlife and Parks offices and select license vendors by mid-February. The season will run from April 14 through May 31.

A separate season for youths ages 16 and younger and persons with disabilities is set for April 9-11. During this season, youths must hunt under the supervision of an adult who may not hunt.

In units 1, 2 and 3, turkey permits are unlimited, one per hunter. They may be purchased over the counter through May 30. In addition, any hunter who already has a turkey permit — general resident, landowner-tenant, or hunt-own-land for any unit, as well as nonresident permits — may also purchase a second turkey game tag for units 2 and 3 only, which includes eastern and southcentral Kansas.

General resident turkey permits are $21. Resident landowner-tenant and hunt-own land permits are $11 (special application to Pratt headquarters required).

Nonresident permits are $31. Resident second turkey game tags are $11. Nonresident second turkey game tags are $21. Unless exempt by law, hunters are also required to have a valid Kansas hunting license.
