Kansas Bow hunting Season,Regulations and license fees
Open prairies and rivers attract a lot of deer in Kansas. To avoid overpopulation of the deer the state has allowed only one antlered deer each year. Some other popular big game hunting options include elks and antelopes.
The state also has two subspecies of turkey for hunting including Eastern and Rio Grande Turkey, making it a great turkey hunting destination. The mixed grassland prairies are a perfect habitat for the original American upland game bird: the prairie chicken.
Kansas is also listed among the top three pheasants and bobwhite quail states all around the US.
