January 1 Marks Start of New Hunting, Fishing Season

The New Year brings new outdoor opportunities, at a discount for some

As 2013 comes to a close, the New Year brings with it the hope and anticipation of an even bigger and better year for hunters and anglers in 2014. From droughts and population lows, to marshes almost miraculously refilling and improved nesting conditions, the coming year gives outdoor enthusiasts something to look forward to.

And although spring seasons aren’t here just yet, now is a great time to start planning your adventure, starting with a 2014 license. And, greatly reduced license fees for youth are being introduced in 2014. Thanks to easy online ordering, purchasing a 2014 hunting or fishing license couldn’t be more hassle-free. Simply visit ksoutdoors.com and click “Licenses/Permits.” There you can enter your information, choose a license, then pay and print. 2014 hunting and fishing licenses and permits can also be purchased at any Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism state park or regional office, and at any license vendor.
