Hope this helps!

Scroll down to get to links to species. We have whitetails and turkeys over the counter. Antelope and I believe mulies get into drawings for tags, at least for rifle. Archery might be over the counter. There are elk, but it's one in a million for a handful of permits around Ft. Riley. Theoretically, you can buy an elk tag for the statewide, but the chances of encountering one are very, very low.


Here's the general scoop on Whitetail deer: Roughly $20 for a resident general license, $35 for the either sex whitetail tag useable for any equipment, and $17.50 for a doe tag (different numbers of doe tags available depending in unit).

Thanks for the replies everybody. It'll bea few years at least before we move anywhere and I'm liking a few different states. Idaho, Montana, South Dakota, all have numerous big game opportunities it seems.

As,said,Idaho,hands down. Now,if only I could convince my wife...........
