Are you planning on hunting coyotes?
Or coyotes and bobcat/fox?
Or coyotes and upland birds?
If hunting coyotes only...or coyotes and upland birds...you will need a non-resident hunting license, which currently costs $97.50.
If hunting coyotes and bobcat/fox...you will need that license...PLUS a non-resident furharvester's license, which is $252.50.
Here is the link to the regulations on the KS Dept of Wildlife, Parks & Tourism's site, concerning the general hunting regs for coyote & furbearing hunting:
http://ksoutdoors.com/Hunting/Hunting-Regulations/General-Information
That tells you the basics about trespass laws, licenses & such.
If you're planning on hunting any of the Walk-In Hunting Access tracts (private property that has been leased for a certain time period, for public hunting)...here is the link to the info on it:
http://ksoutdoors.com/KDWPT-Info/Locations/Hunting-Fishing-Atlas/Fall-Hunting-Atlas ....NOTE: The new updated Fall Hunting atlas for 2016, is not yet listed. However, normally, a lot of the same tracts are enrolled year after year (w/exceptions, of course).
I hope this is some help to you.
Having not been able to do any hunting (health) for a couple years now, I can't give any better info than that.
I live in the north-central part of the state.
Prior to the last couple of years, I hunted a lot of WIHA tracts (throughout 14 counties in north-central Kansas), starting about 1996/1997.
Called and killed a lot of WIHA coyotes over the years.
If a guy is choosy & tries to call those properties that don't look good for upland birds (such as pastures & creeks), you CAN find spots that aren't hunted TOO often. Hahaha
It also helps IF a guy can hunt during the week, instead of the weekend.
IMHO, if planning to hunt WIHA, it's best to check out any aerial views of the properties...whether via an app, or via Google Earth, ect.
That way, you can rule out tracts on the atlas, that are nothing but crop fields (some w/o standing crop stubble).
It'll save a lot of extra driving and frustrations.
Afterthought:
I just remembered hearing recently...there's getting to be more and more landowners here, who have started charging a "lease fee" to resident and non-resident hunters that they don't know personally.
That's just what I have heard. Don't know how much truth is in it. Or how much the average is being charged, though.
Something to keep in mind.
