TOPEKA (KSNT) - Kansas wildlife officials are releasing the latest edition of the state's hunting atlas for the 2024-2025 hunting season.

The Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks (KDWP) announced the release of the 2024-2025 Kansas Fall & Spring Hunting Atlas on Tuesday, Aug. 20. The atlas includes details on walk-in hunting access (WIHA) areas and public lands, hunting seasons and contact information for the state's game wardens.

Hunters can begin accessing WIHA properties either Sept. 1 or Nov. 1 with access ending either Jan. 31, March 31 or May 31 the following year, according to the KDWP. Public hunting access to WIHA properties is limited to the specified access period for the property.

Entering WIHA properties before or after the open access period is prohibited. The atlas and WIHA signs at properties in Kansas indicated the access period for each property.
