Kansas National Guard and Disabled Veterans Hunting/Fishing Licenses, and State Park Permits
To receive free licenses and permits, Kansas guardsmen and Veterans apply to KDWPT's Pratt Operations Office. Depending on the particular licenses and/or state park permits they request, you will be required to submit appropriate documentation.
Application forms for licenses and permits can be downloaded from the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks website at www.kdwp.state.ks.us. Click "Licenses & Permits", under Type of License/Permits click "Hunting Licenses/Permit," then "Download National Guard Hunting, Fishing, and Park Vehicle Permit" or "Download Disabled Veterans Hunting and Fishing License Application". If in the National Guard, the forms must be signed by the unit commander and mailed to KDWPT with photocopies of appropriate documentation. You will still be required to purchase any additional "tags" you need for a successful hunt.
