PARSONS -- The Kansas Army Ammunition Plant, near Parsons, will conduct a public drawing for a limited number of hunters for the spring turkey season. The three-day turkey hunt will be held April 13-15. All hunters must be at least 16 years old and have successfully completed a hunter education course. Last year, the hunter success rate for this hunt was more than 80 percent.

Hunters must apply in pairs. Applicants must send their full name, drivers license number, social security number, date of birth, address, phone number, and hunt type (turkey) on a 3x5 index card to the following address:
Commander’s Representative, KSAAP

Parsons, KS 67357.

The information provided will be used to conduct a mandatory background check for successfully-drawn applicants. Incomplete or incorrect entries will not be accepted. Applications must be received by March 2. Only successful applicants will be notified by mail.

To allow increased hunter opportunity, successfully-drawn applicants may only apply for this hunt every other year. All participants will be required to attend a safety/security briefing at 6 p.m. on April 12. Hunters must purchase a $20 federal user permit at the briefing, and all must have a valid turkey permit and hunting license. Hunt rules and questions will be fully addressed during the briefing. Hunts may be cancelled at any time due to security concerns. A recorded version of the hunt application requirements can be reached by calling 620-421-7429.
