How to Submit a Lottery Application for the Spring Kansas Wild Turkey Season

Kansas spring turkey lottery applications can be submitted online or by calling 1-833-587-2164. Non-residents can submit a lottery application for $10, and the permit price (if won) is $75.  

The way Kansas draws operates; a winning lottery draw gives you access to a turkey hunting area. At that point, you still need to acquire valid licenses, permits, tags, stamps, and Hunter Education as required.  

Draw stats for non-resident applicants are fair, with 2024 having 11,838 applicants and 9,621 winners for hunting regions 1-3. In hunting region 4, there were 542 applicants with 375 winners.
