Firearms deer permits remain available

About 1,100 nonresident firearms deer permits are still available in several Kansas deer management units.

The permits were not taken in the May nonresident application period. They are all firearms whitetail either-sex permits and are being sold on a first-come, first-served basis and are available at license vendors and through the Wildlife and Parks Web site.

Hunters who purchase a leftover permit will lose any preference points they may have accumulated for next year’s drawing.

Applicants who were successful in the nonresident drawing or the resident any-deer permit drawing may not purchase a leftover permit.

No hunter may purchase more than one permit that allows the take of an antlered deer. An antlered-deer permit is required before purchasing a whitetail antlerless-only deer game tag, unless purchased after Dec. 30.

Firearms deer season in Kansas will run from Nov. 29 to Dec. 10.
