Yep Florida is one of those places, the online portion was even free. I read some, answered some questions printed out the scores, then went to a location for the live fire exercises, and took the final exam. I think it took me less than 3 hours to get the whole certification done.Quote:

just got off the phone w/ Kevin. The hunter's safety is a State statute, and can't be changed, nor is KS willing to do so. As far as non-hunters in the field needing a license, he's pretty sure they don't, but he's double checking into it and I'll post that confirmation as soon as I receive it. Kevin's another that's had a card since the 70's, says you can barely read it, and that he can't replace it because MO doesn't have the records.
Thanks for looking into it Rich.
I just bought mine online. For those of you who can't remember you number, There is an option for that
I bought the license and state water fowl stamp = around $78.00
Just buy your license online, you will know what to do once you get there!
Can I purchase the non-resident Hunting license for KS online? Anybody done this? I love getting my TX hunting license online. You print out a temporary one until you get the actual license in the mail.
I just answered my own question.
Check this out though.
KS charges an Internet Convenience fee and a processing fee....frus)

Yes you can buy a KS non-resident license online and print it out. The process is simple .
Just refer to Axels post and all yall without hunters ed #s are set!
Ok...I called KS P&W because online they offered two non resident hunting licenses for the same price.
1. non-resident hunting license
2. apprentice non-resident hunting license
The individual I called at 1(800) 918-2877 told me the difference is that you can buy the apprentice non-resident hunting license if you don't have the hunters safety course. It will be a one time deal according to her. Just FYI.
Even when I did not hunt with a gun. I took the MD hunter safety course, then again in Florida when I moved there. Here is the International Hunter Education Association website: www.ihea.com I do feel that ALL hunters should take the course. I also feel that there should be a section to educate the gun/archer/arbelist (crossbow) about other forms of hunting (terrier work, coursing with hounds, falconry, ferreting, etc.) Not everyone hunts with a gun or bow.
I'm interested in this. I'll be in a pop-up. Me and my 6 yr old. Won't be there the whole meet, but we'll be there for the start and then some.Quote:

That's still very reasonable. However, if I just sleep in the back of my truck, then what? Will she pay me? :)Quote:

LOL. Based on the conversations i've had with her as of now I think you would have a better chance of seeing pigs fly. i actually asked if we could get the same rate for pop ups that we were getting for tent camping and she actually laughed out loud on the phone. It never hurts to ask.Quote:

Needless to say, I didn't get much sleep. How far from the meet hotel was that Super 8? And did anyone mention their rates?
MAN ! This hotel situation bites ! I'm SERIOUSLY thinkin' about using my military polar bag and sleepin' in my truckbed on an air mattress !
While the cost of the hotel does indeed suck. Think about it this way:
There has not been a cost increase on the hotel costs in over 10 years.
There are other hotels in the area that are offering good deals.
The cost of a room at any hotel this nice is going to cost more without the deal NAFA has worked out.
How many hotels this nice allow you to bring birds and dogs into it?
How many hotels are allowing a group of people to take it over on a holiday?
If you think about it from the hotels view, it would be a huge risk. Lots of people with dogs, birds, and dead game taking over 2/3 of your rooms, your banquet rooms, your lobbies, your pool area, etc... all of this over a holiday week, where most of their staff would you usually be off to be with family of their own. Now they usually have to bring in more staff, keep the hotel bar/restaurant open longer/later, keep grounds up for months longer than they normally would (I know in Colorado it cost the hotel a lot of money to try and make the weathering yard usable, they actually planted grass just for us). Yes they are going to make money, but how much compared if they just said no thank you.
Not saying that I don't think that it sucks too, just looking at it from all angles. It is still one heck of a deal and I am looking forward to it as usual! :D
Let's see...$90/nite for 8 nites makes for $720 just for the room not counting gas, license, dues, registration...IF I can afford to go, I think I'll go for the $5/nite freeze my rear end off. $40 for the whole week and maybe I can squeeze in some breakfast with what's left over:P

I understand the risks involved for booking an event like this...but they could have said no, and we as a club could have said no thank you we will go back to Garden City or move it else where to make it more affordable! I dont stay in 90$ a night hotels anytime I travel, much less for a hunting trip....I for one wont be staying there...I have a great place down the road that is perfect for what I need, and they love to have falconers there!Quote:

Camping gear here I come!
There are Hot showers, bathroom facilities etc at the camp site. There's also a little general store type deal there on site. So it will be camping but certainly not roughing it.Quote:

Oh and by the way...does anyone have a name for the camping area ? Is there a camping fee for a tent or trailer ?
The name of the place is the Water Sports Campground and RV park. As of now the cost for people camping in tents is $5 per person per night. Pop up trailers can be put in the same area as the tents for $19 per night per trailer. You can also put a trailer in a regular spot with a basic water hook up for $19 a night if you prefer.Quote:
