It used to be easy to draw it’s turned in to a 50/50 chance now . If you don’t get drawn the you get a preference point and
The following year you automatically get drawn. I have heard from some guides up there that I’m the next year or so it’s going to be a preference point state like Iowa. Where it takes you a couple years to get drawn based on the number of preference points you have . That’s gona suck

We were drawn again. No way I would have taken that bet considering how much harder it is getting every season. We are about 10 years straight now. Hate it for all the folks that arent getting in. My phone has blown up the last 24 hours with people telling me yah or nah and like last year it aint been pretty.

Kansas finally got smart and started limiting nonresidents. If they didn't, they would have gone down the same road as Illinois. Which is a bad road to take. Limiting nonresidents will definitely help the buck age structure.

I’d have to agree with that policy. Unfortunate as it might be, I’d probably shoot the first legal buck I saw…..maybe, maybe not.

But I read on here that if a state had 4+ months of bowhunting and limited gun hunting to a week or two, there was no way to kill too many little bucks?

Congratulations to all the folks that drew…too many irons in the fire right now for me..sitting on my preference point again this year!
I’d have to imagine with the fact that now just having to put up $97.00 and not the $500 from the past that the NR applications will increase a bunch!
Congratulations again..No place like Kansas!

I heard from someone that applied as a group...card charged up front the small amount and then when they were selected one of the groups card was either declined or expired and it caused the entire group to get declined. Ouch

I’ve had a lease in SE Ks (unit 11) since 2013 so this is my 11th season with it. I have an agreement with a couple of friends….we alternate every other year. This is their year and me again in 2024.
I felt like one preference point would be all that would ever be needed.
Well I just spoke to my buddy and he was drawn but his son was not and they both had preference points.
His son already has the rejection notice and his profile is updated to show he now has two points.
Very disturbing to say the least. I may have to get another group involved and just start going every 3rd year so we can get 2 points before applying.

Sure wish I’d have known that back the 1st of April! Guess we will see what next year brings as my plan was to grab and go with the 1 point I’ve been holding!!

Same here Scott…..I never dreamed it would take more than one point.
It just doesn’t seem possible that all applicants for unit 11 had a preference point. It seems to me that would have to be the case to be rejected with 3360 tags available.

Update !
I called Ks DNR several times today and after talking with 3 or 4 different people I got a lady that was very helpful and looked into what happened to my buddy that was rejected.
His card was declined.
So everyone needs to make sure to update your profile with any change to your card on file.
A small oversight has very sad consequences.

Four of us hunt together. 2020 4 out of four drew tags. 2021 2 out of 4 drew tags. 2022 4 out 4 drew tags. This year 2 out 4 drew tags. I was not one of them. I know of at least 10 people that drew with no preference points this year. It's hard for me to figure it out. This was my deer last year & a trail cam pic from the year before. He jumped about 20-25 inches.
