Members of the Kansas Wildlife and Parks Commission have been hard at work examining several staff recommendations related to complex natural resource challenges. From increased hunting pressure during the Sunflower State’s waterfowl seasons to declining numbers of wild turkeys nationwide, staff from the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks are working diligently to present commissioners with the best available science so that informed decisions may be made.
Two important items to be voted on, when Kansas Wildlife and Parks Commissioners meet Thursday, June 22nd at noon, include whether Kansas should initiate a lottery draw for non-resident turkey hunters, and whether baiting wildlife should be prohibited on department lands and waters, including private lands leased by wildlife and parks.
