Antelope Application General Information
GENERAL INFORMATION
- In awarding antelope permits, the first priority shall be given to those individuals who have earned the highest number of preference points. Preference points will be awarded as follows: a) One point shall be awarded to an individual for each year the individual is unsuccessful in drawing a permit; b) If applicant fails to make at least one application within a period of five consecutive years, all earned points are lost; c) Once an applicant obtains a firearms or muzzleloader permit, all earned points are lost; and d) If the number of applicants with the highest preference points exceeds the number of permits for specified units or permit types, a drawing will be held to determine the successful applicants.
- All individuals, regardless of land ownership and age, must have in possession a valid permit to hunt antelope. In addition to the antelope permit, a valid Kansas resident hunting license is required (unless exempt by Kansas law).
- Members of the armed services on active duty who were Kansas residents at the time of entering the service, and immediate family members living with them, are considered to be residents. Members of the armed services on active duty and officially stationed in Kansas may purchase resident licenses and permits, except for lifetime licenses.
- A nonresident who is a registered full-time student in residence of a public or private secondary, post secondary, or vocational school located in this state may purchase resident licenses and permits, except lifetime licenses. Nonresident students must carry evidence of being a full-time student while hunting.
- Any holder of a Kansas lifetime license (hunt or combination hunt/fish) who has moved from the state may apply for an antelope permit as a resident.
- Anyone born on or after July 1, 1957, must complete an approved hunter education course before hunting in Kansas, and until age 27 must carry a certificate verifying course completion while hunting. Persons hunting on their own land are exempt from this requirement.
- Only one application per person may be submitted. Any permit obtained by an individual through false representation, misrepresentation, or in excess of the number of permits authorized shall be invalid from the date of issuance.
