MARQUETTE, Kan.—The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at Kanopolis Lake will host its special muzzleloader deer hunt on Corps of Engineers land on the backside (east side) of the dam.
The hunt, a muzzleloader only hunt event, will allow hunters that have a hunter education certificate or valid hunting licenses to be drawn from a pool of applicants to hunt at the assigned area. Hunters are required to carry a “special hunt” permit issued by the Corps of Engineers and follow all Kansas statutes. Normally, hunting below the dam at Kanopolis Lake is limited to shotgun and archery methods only.
These hunts will be administered by the Corps of Engineers staff at Kanopolis Lake. One hunter and a guest will be allowed to hunt the first week, Sept. 16-22, and a second hunter and a guest will be allowed to hunt the second week, Sept. 23-29, of the early muzzleloader season. The successful applicant for each hunt will be allowed two permits.
All applicable Kansas hunting regulations and required tags pertaining to the deer muzzleloader season will be required. Please refer to the 2013 Kansas Hunting and Furharvesting Regulations Summary from KDWP.
