Back40 PassKansas · Official sources · Reviewed August 14, 2026
Kansas criminal-hunting law requires prior permission from the owner or person in possession before hunting on another's land. A separate statute requires the hunter to possess written permission on land posted 'by written permission only' or marked with qualifying purple paint. No live statewide permission-card page was verified in current first-party materials, so the profile stays partial and does not claim an official form.
This is a qualified summary, not legal advice or permission. Reopen the cited official sources, confirm their effective dates and current versions, and check the exact property, activity, species, method, date, and local rule before relying on any form.
Direct, qualified answer
An official form can be mandatory, optional, embedded in a guide, or limited to one access program. Its existence alone does not establish a statewide written rule.

K.S.A. 21-5810 separately covers certain hunting from public-road, public-road-right-of-way, and railroad-right-of-way locations; parcel access and local discharge restrictions still require separate verification.

Your draft
Choose primary game and timingSubject: Hunting permission request — [choose primary game], Kansas Hello, My name is [your name]. I am writing to ask whether you would consider discussing permission for 1 hunter to hunt [choose primary game] with archery in Kansas during [your requested dates]. I will not enter, scout, or hunt without your approval. If you are open to a conversation, I would like to confirm: - who controls access: Do you control access for this property, or is there an authorized manager I should contact? - every approved person and the exact dates - the property boundary, entry, parking, and no-go areas - permitted species, methods, and any property-specific limits - check-in, gates, livestock, crops, guests, and equipment rules - whether written permission or another state or local record is required - the game-retrieval plan, including neighboring property I understand the answer may be no, and I will respect it. Permission for one person, activity, or date would not be treated as permission for anyone else or another time. You can reach me at [add your preferred contact before sending]. Thank you for considering the request, [your name]
This is a request, not permission, a lease, or legal advice. Only an authorized person can approve access. Verify current state and local requirements before relying on any written record.
Applicability by rule
“General” below identifies the broadest modeled rule in this review. A rule is described as verified current only when the profile passes the evidence gate; pending rules are labeled with their future effective status.
Broadest modeled rule
K.S.A. 21-5810 requires prior permission but does not prescribe a general written, oral, or card-based mechanism. This row therefore records the permission baseline without inferring that a particular format satisfies it.
Conditional or related rule
The writing and possession requirement is conditional on the land being posted with the statutory written-only signs or qualifying purple paint; it is not presented as a universal written-only rule for every Kansas property.

Courtesy record · Not a universal legal form
The authorized person and hunter should confirm that this record accurately describes the limited permission actually granted. No access outside the named people, property, dates, activities, map, or rules is implied. Permission may be subject to current law and may be revoked according to applicable terms and law.
