Here is an email I recieved from Mike Miller who works for the KDWP.

The 2007 season permit situation will be the same as it was for 2006. We are
looking at making changes for the 2008 season, but we will have to get some
statutes changed during the 2007 legislative session. We are looking at
nonresident quotas, not over-the-counter unlimited sales. Most hunters are
concerned about consistent trophy buck opportunities, and one way to ensure
those is to limit all hunters to one antlered deer. We are considering an
any-season whitetail permit for residents only in 2008. This would allow
residents to hunt during any season with the legal equipment, but still
limit them to harvesting only one antlered deer.

Hope that helped some...
