Assistance to Turkey Permit Holders

A Kansas hunting license is required (unless exempt by Kansas law) to assist a turkey permit holder. Such assistance may include calling. Any person with a permanent physical or visual disability that prevents the person's ability to hunt safely, as certified by a physician, may be eligible to obtain a permit to designate someone else to take a legal limit of game for the permit holder. However, a permittee who is, because of disability, unable to pursue a wounded wild turkey may designate any individual to assist in pursuing and dispatching a wild turkey wounded by the disabled permittee.
