Perry Wildlife Area News

Eight managed Dove fields are located on the Perry Wildlife Area totaling about 85 acres. ALL DOVE FIELDS ON PERRY WILDLIFE AREA ARE NON-TOXIC SHOT ONLY AND REQUIRE USE OF THE ELECTRONIC DAILY HUNT PERMIT SYSTEM. All fields are sunflowers with the centers of the fields mowed out for hunters to sit around the perimeter of each field. 

Maintain safe shooting distances between hunting parties and always know what lies beyond your target. It is highly recommended that hunters where safety/shooting glasses within the dove fields to prevent potential injury due to falling pellets.

Detailed information will be posted on the Perry Wildlife Area web page.

Perry Wildlife Area is included in the electronic daily hunt permit system. This system, which will streamline data gathering for management purposes and be convenient for hunters, has taken the place of the old paper dove survey card system. Hunters can register at any time by going to ksoutdoors.com/check-in to register and check-in for hunting. After you are done hunting, you will “check-out” and record any harvest you may have from the hunt. Electronic daily hunt check-in is mandatory for all hunters pursuing any type of game on the Perry Wildlife Area.
