Our new website is live, but you may see a few areas in transition as we continue organizing and updating content. Site search will be limited at first while Google updates its index, but results will improve over time. If you’re looking for a quick starting point, try the How Do I… section on the home page to jump straight to common actions.

Some public lands require hunters to check in and check out electronically. Requirements vary by area, so be sure to review the special regulations listed on each property's page before heading out.

Walk‑In Hunting Access (WIHA) and Interactive Walk‑In Hunting Access (iWIHA) areas are privately owned lands that landowners voluntarily enroll to provide public hunting opportunities. Through seasonal leases with the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks (KDWP), participating landowners receive compensation while helping open more than one million acres of quality habitat to hunters each year.
Although these areas offer public hunting access, they remain private property, and use is restricted to hunting only during the posted access period for each property. Trapping is not allowed on WIHA or iWIHA lands.
Access dates vary by property. Fall WIHA access begins on either September 1 or November 1, and ends on January 31, March 31, or May 31. Hunters must check the Hunting Atlas or posted signs for exact dates. Entering WIHA or iWIHA properties outside the designated access period is prohibited.
iWIHA properties operate under the same rules as WIHA but include two important differences:
Hunters must check in and check out using their Go Outdoors Kansas account.
Hunter numbers are limited to protect habitat quality and landowner concerns. Once a property reaches its daily capacity, no additional check‑ins are allowed.
To protect landowners and ensure safe, responsible use:
Do not cross onto neighboring properties; interior boundaries are marked.
Keep roads, gates, and driveways clear; parking is limited.
Avoid farm equipment, homes, and other sensitive areas marked with Safety Zone signs.
Follow all established hunting seasons and regulations.
You can check in and out of public lands and iWIHA areas using your regular Go Outdoors Kansas account — the same login you use for licenses and permits.
Check‑ins and check‑outs can be completed on the Go Outdoors Kansas website at license.gooutdoorskansas.com or you can use the GoOutdoorsKS mobile application.
1. Open the GoOutdoorsKS app and click on “Purchase License” tile and login.
