Any legal equipment can be used to catch a white-tailed deer with no visible antlers clearly protruding from its skull during the extended season. A valid Kansas hunting license is required, unless exempted by Kansas law. Hunter orange clothing is required. Deer adapt to hunting pressure and find areas where they can avoid hunters. In some cases, these areas are created because a particular landowner wants to restrict or prohibit hunter access. Protected areas serve as sanctuaries and can result in future herd growth and greater damage to deer on nearby or other properties where protected deer spend time when the hunting season is closed. (i) We allow the use of dogs when hunting highland game, except that we prohibit the use of dogs when hunting coyotes and fur carriers. Birds such as pelicans, cormorants, grebes, herons, gulls and other migratory birds not listed in this booklet may be illegally captured or possessed under federal and state law.
