Hunting outfitters and guides in Kansas: coming soon
No outfitters or guides are listed in Kansas yet. Listings are added only after a person confirms the license or permit with the agency that issues it.
Be the first listed in Kansas
Sun Up Hunts is launching. We list a hunting outfitter or guide only after checking its license or permit with the issuing agency, so this page stays out of search results until Kansas has at least 2 verified listings to compare. If you run an outfit in Kansas, you can ask to be listed for free; there is also an optional upgraded listing, always labelled Sponsored, that is free for life for the first Founding outfitters.

Seasons, draws and regulations change every year and can differ by unit or zone. Confirm seasons and regulations with the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks before you plan or book a hunt. This list is a starting point, not legal advice.
Outfitter and guide licensing in Kansas
Confirmed from primary sources
Licensing body: Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks (KDWP). Where to check a license:KDWP.
- The Kansas statute that sets maximum fees for KDWP licenses and permits (K.S.A. 32-988) lists a "commercial guide permit or associate guide permit". We have not confirmed eligibility or other requirements, so ask KDWP what applies. Source (read October 23, 2026)
State wildlife agency: Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks (link checked October 23, 2026). Kansas rules change: check with the agency before booking a hunt or operating as a guide.
Before you book any Kansas hunt
- Ask for the outfitter's license, registration or permit number and confirm it with the agency before you pay a deposit.
- Get the hunt terms in a written contract: dates, guide-to-hunter ratio, services, what is and is not included, and the refund and cancellation terms.
- Ask which land the hunt is on (private, public, or both) and what permit or access arrangement covers it.
- Ask for recent client references you can phone, and what happens to your meat and trophy.
- Check the state's own hunter-license, tag, draw and hunter-education requirements well ahead of the application dates.
- Ask what happens if conditions or game numbers are poor: no outfitter can guarantee a harvest, and we do not list any that promise one.
