With little doubt you will need a hunting license to hunt your property. If it makes you feel any better, being required to buy a license to hunt on your 20acres, where animals would be transitory, not local their entire lives, makes much more sense than being required to buy a license to hunt on the 17,000 acres my family and I own (legally defined in KS as "own land").
I haven't seen any requirement that a fur harvesters license is required to sell hides. Only that all hides intended for sale must be tagged at no charge by a dep representative during one of the tagging dates, or at one of a few select dep offices.
Legal repercussions for violating hunting laws can be incredibly stiff, as many violations are lumped together, the recourse for killing a rabbit without a license may likely be the same as killing a deer unlicensed.
Buck up buddy, you had the money to buy a gun or bow, you had the money to buy the land, spend the money to hunt legally.
