Muzzleloader, youth/disabled archery deer seasons on tap in Kansas

Resident Any Season White-tailed Deer permits available over
the counter

PRATT – Three deer seasons open this September: the muzzleloader
season, which runs Sept. 19-Oct. 2; the archery season, which runs
Sept. 19-Dec. 31; and the youth/disabled season, which runs Sept.
10-18. Resident hunters who have yet to obtain a Resident Any
Season White-tailed Deer permit may still obtain one at Kansas
Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism (KDWPT) offices, select
license vendors, online at www.kdwp.state.ks.us (click
“License/Permits” on the top menu bar), or by phoning
1-800-918-2877 toll-free.

The Any Season permit is valid statewide and allows the hunter
to harvest one antlered or antlerless white-tailed deer during any
season with equipment legal for that season.

Resident hunting licenses, required of anyone age 16 through 64
in addition to the deer permit, cost $20.50. Resident Any Season
White-tailed Deer permits cost $32.50. Antlerless-Only White-tailed
Deer permits, which may be purchased only after an antlered deer
permit has been purchased, cost $17.50.

After Dec. 30, deer hunters may purchase Antlerless-Only
White-tailed Deer permits valid during January seasons without
having first purchased an antlered deer permit.

There is no minimum age to apply for and receive a big game
permit, and youth younger than 16 may hunt without hunter
education, if supervised by an adult 18 years or older. For more
information, visit the KDWPT website, www.kdwpt.state.ks.us, or
