Hunting and Fishing

Rick Burns coordinates the Hunting & Fishing program.  He, as well as several other officers, are certified Hunter Safety Education Instructors. Officer Burns conducts regular classes usually in the Spring and early Fall.  He has coordinated with the state of Kansas to recognize our carcass tags and Hunting Licenses.  Hunting licenses are valid within the exterior boundaries of the reservation.  Carcass tags are valid only for game harvested on the reservation. 

Licenses are available to enrolled tribal members, their spouses, or parents.  Tribal members may also sponsor non-members.  Sponsored individuals may not hunt/fish without their sponsor present.

Hunter Safety Education certification is required for individuals born on or after July 1, 1977, to obtain a Tribal Hunting license.  Hunting & Fishing licenses are required for those persons 12 years and older.

Hunting & Fishing licenses and carcass tags are available at no cost at the Tribal Police Department.  Those wishing to obtain a license/carcass tag should first call the Police Department at (785) 966-3024 or toll free at (877) 727-6743 to insure Officer Burns or another staff member is available to issue the license/carcass tag.
