The Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism is accepting applications from private landowners willing to make their land available for public hunting access through a lease agreement. considering Kansas land is 98% privately owned, this is very important.
Participating landowners receive payments which vary, depending on the number of acres offered, quality of habitat and length of the access period. There are several benefits to participating, in addition to the lease payment. Many landowners own land far from their home, or do not have time to worry about who is hunting on their land. It may be more convenient for them to enroll their property in the program.
For more information, or if you are interested in enrolling your property, contact Tim Urban at 913-422-1314, Extension 105. Call soon as funds are limited. Deadlines are set to allow posting of properties and time to print maps prior to hunting seasons.
