Regular firearms deer season started yesterday, December 4th, for the state of Kansas. The Department of Wildlife and Parks reminds anyone hunting or assisting someone during an open firearms deer season is required to wear a bright orange colored hat or other bright orange colored garment on their head and at least 200 square inches of bright orange colored garments on their torso.
This is required no matter what equipment is being used to hunt, including archery. They suggest anyone hunting from a blind, display some bright orange on the outside of the blind as well. Regular firearm deer seasons runs until Sunday, December 15th.
Last year in Kansas, over 82,000 deer were harvested by either archery or firearm. Of those, 170 were mule deer, and the rest white tail deer.
