The cost to hunt spring turkeys for non-residents in Kansas has almost doubled from last year. $185 for a non-res hunting license and 2 turkey tags.

Still pretty cheap in comparison to a lot of other states

spaightlabs

Still less expensive than Nebraska.

If the extra $$ goes to habitat/conservation/enforcement, then no worries.

Um if memory serves it is the same as it was last year and the year before.
KS license went up in cost. I'm still ready to go. Seems like the going rate. $100.00 a bird. Iowa is $200.00 a bird
When I turkey hunt I use a DSD decoy

Yeah they were around 125.  Oh well hopefully gas stays down and the hunt will average out.

One of my personal current interests is nest predators and how a majority of hunters, where legal bait to the extent of chumming coons.  However once they get the predators concentrated they don't control them.

It was a slap in the face to residents at the old prices and we finally got that in the right person's ear. I wish it was higher.

Afraid some nonresident is going to kill all your birds? Sorry just never understood that mentality. We're all Americans in my eyes. I couldn't care less who comes here. Back to the op. Turkey tags are getting ridiculous but with the popularity of hunting them the states see $$$. My tags will run $625 and that's just for a couple of states. When it costs as much to kill a 20lb bird that's literally everywhere as it does to kill a 800lb bull that's not that's what chaps my butt

It's not about that. We pay thousands of dollars to Kansas every year in taxes. For someone to pay $10 more than a resident for a tag was a slap in our face showing us we don't matter. Kansas sportsman are tired of being crapped on and told we don't matter. We are also going after guide use on public land right now. If we have a premium product then charge a premium price.
