Walk In Hunting Program a Success 

The Department of Wildlife & Parks is again accepting applications for their popular WIHA Program which opens private lands to public  hunting through a lease agreement between landowners and the Department. A total of nearly 108,000 acres were enrolled in 2006.

 

Highlights of the program include:

• Money available to landowners, KDWP pays landowners/tenants to allow public hunting on their land;

• KDWP puts up special signs to mark the property;

• Department personnel periodically patrol the land;

• Access is by foot only - no vehicles allowed;

• State law assumes normal liability for landowners;

• Opportunity to increase payment for habitat improvements is available.

For more information about WIHA, contact Aaron Deters, phone: 785-545-3345
