Non-Residents who would like to hunt in the Kansas spring turkey season will have the chance to apply for a new lottery draw starting on January 9th .
The new lottery draw is part of a larger strategy by the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks to reduce overall hunting pressure and turkey harvest in the state. This is in response to a nation-wide decline in turkey populations. Non-Residents may apply for a permit – valid only in a single unit – in Units 1, 2, 3, 5, or 6 and a $10 application fee will apply. Similar to the Kansas non-resident deer permit draw, any leftover non-resident spring turkey permits will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis shortly after the draw.
To apply for a 2024 non-resident turkey permit:
- Visit gooutdoorskansas.com between the dates of 01/09/24 – 02/09/24.
- Select “Purchase Licenses, Permits, & Tags”
- Login to your account
- Select “Limited Draw Applications”
