COVID-19
As OUR COUNTRY SLOWLY STARTS to REOPEN AGAIN (from the COVID-19 pandemic) and continue to enjoy outdoor activitie, ALL outdoorsmen (man, woman, child) should follow the guidelines set by nps.gov. These guidelines include; social distancing, the Leave No Trace principles, including pack-in and pack-out, to keep outdoor spaces safe and healthy.
In a recent video conference, the Kansas Wildlife, Parks and Tourism (KWPT) Commission approved the 2020-21 antelope, elk and deer seasons.
The Commission also approved
- a provision that allows big game animals taken with an antlerless-only permit to be quartered in the field as long as sex organs remain naturally attached for proof of an animal’s sex during transport
- Draw-lock devices as legal archery equipment
- Expansion of Urban Deer Management Unit 19
