More than 2,800 permits available to nonresidents in 12 deer management units
PRATT -- The Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks (KDWP) has announced that 2,840 nonresident deer permits are still available for the 2008 season. These are permits that were not taken in the May nonresident application period. They are Whitetail Either-Sex permits (hunter designates equipment/season choice, as well as one adjacent unit, at time of purchase) and will be sold to any nonresident who did not successfully draw a 2008 permit, beginning July 14, on a first-come, first-served basis at license vendors and online at the KDWP website (www.kdwp.state.ks.us).

Leftover nonresident deer permit numbers are listed below by unit:

• Unit 2 – 11
• Unit 5 – 6
• Unit 6 – 231
• Unit 8 – 36
• Unit 9 – 202
• Unit 10 – 727
• Unit 11 – 522
• Unit 12 – 137
• Unit 13 – 250
• Unit 14 – 323
• Unit 15 – 216
• Unit 16 – 100
• Unit 18 – 79.

Hunters who purchase a leftover permit will lose any preference points they may have accumulated for next year's drawing. Applicants who were successful in the nonresident drawing may not purchase a leftover permit. No hunter may purchase more than one permit that allows the take of an antlered deer. An antlered deer permit is required before purchasing a Whitetail Antlerless-Only Deer permit.
