One. "A hunter may only purchase one permit that allows the harvest of an antlered deer" — every deer permit is worth one deer, and the antlered ceiling is the single antlered permit. Whitetail Antlerless-Only permits, up to ten of them, take does and fawns only. Regulations p. 30 and KDWP's deer page.

You

What you pay, and in several states what you are even offered.

Residency

Kansas Department of Wildlife & Parks prices residents and non-residents differently, and sells some tags to only one of them.

Licences

Without one of these there is no legal way to hunt deer here.

Tags and permits

Good anywhere in the state.

Tags for a unit

Drop a pin first — these are sold per deer management unit, and the app will not guess which one you meant.

Nothing to tick here yet.

Nothing in your wallet yet

Tick what you hold and the calendar starts answering for you rather than for everybody. Kansas Department of Wildlife & Parks sells them at the link below.

Prices are what the Kansas Department of Wildlife & Parks printed for 2026-27, and are here to help you recognise a tag rather than to sell you one.

Kansas deer seasons, 2026-27

Kansas’s 2026-27 deer seasons run September 5, 2026 to January 31, 2027, and what is open on a given day depends on the deer management unit your stand is in. Drop a pin above and this app reads the deer management unit off it, then answers the rest from there — the dates, the legal arms, the bag limits and the shooting hours, transcribed page by page from the Kansas Department of Wildlife & Parks digest. It is a planning aid, not the law: check the digest before you hunt.
