Walk-In Hunting Area expands access in Kansas
The Walk-In Hunting Area WIHA program has grown to over 330000 acres of private land for public hunting in Kansas. Landowners must allow foot traffic and protect habitat while prohibiting vehicles camping fires horses dog training and rapping. Landowners permission is needed for certain activities like trapping and hunters should respect standing crops as weather delays harvest. Wildlife staff will patrol WIHA lands this season and gather user surveys with a goal to reach 500000 acres by 1999.
