kansas deer hunts

While watching G3 outdoors last weekend, I noted that they were hunting in SE ks & the first hunter indicated he had hunted 30 days during archery season w/o being able to tag a buck. He returned during rifle season & showed him filling his tag w/ a rifle. You CAN NOT legally hunt both seasons w/ both weapons. You can hunt during firearms season w/ a bow but you can not switch weapons. Did anyone else see that. The only possible way for that to have been legal is if the hunter was a land owner and had a hunt on your own land tag. This is something that really makes me mad & it seems nothing ever happens to the slobs that commit the violations.

This is for out of state hunters right? They can only get one tag either for gun or bow season?

If that is the case I would almost bet that the hunter was from Kansas to get both tags. Otherwise I doubt they would show on tv someone breaking the law. Maybe I'm wrong, but i think they would be smarter than that.

out of state ... that is correct...u get one tag..if archery tag then have to hunt archery during rifle season.....

i didn't think of that...good point...he must be living in KS to be able to do that and have both tags...

Residents do not have the option to hunt w/ more than one buck tag. Its very clear on that. The rule is the same for both residents & non residents. That being said, I believe the poacher was from Missouri. My point was that it appears to be a violation based on what was said during the show & could lead others into thinking they can do the same. You can hunt during firearms season w/ a bow tag, but you must hunt w/ a bow.

Someone correct me if I amwrong but, I think the land owners are allowed 1 permit for like every 200 acres, Outfitters leasing the land acquire them from the land owners and clients that dont get drawn for a permit acquire it from the Outfitter. If the land owners permit is for archeryandgun, then I can see how their getting away with it.
I know they was working on this years ago, but Im not sure it ever passed.
