Hunter education is required if you were born after July 1, 1957. You must carry your card with you. If hunting in Kansas, you must have a hunting license plus your permit. The hunting license is good for the calender year, and entitles you to hunt small game and game birds also.
All turkey permits are over-the-counter and can be purchased from the Kansas Department of Wildlife & Parks directly, or purchased upon your arrival in camp from a local vendor. All Kansas deer permits, whether rifle, bow, or muzzleloader, are obtained through a drawing. The application period for non-resident deer permits is April 1-30 and is conducted exclusively online.
