I waited late to buy my licenses this year. Normally I buy them prior to the end of March to get the license discount price (which I highly recommend, but that's another subject).

Well long story short, I just bought my license over the phone, because for some reason they aren't offering Spring turkey license online this year.

Well, I thought the lady said that I would receive copies of the license and permits via Email. What I actually received is just a receipt with a confirmation number and a list of what I actually purchased.

So with that being, does anyone know if I'll be in the clear with just the confirmation numbers on my person? Because we leave on Monday for Kansas and it's pretty obvious, im not going to receive the actual licenses and permits by then via snail mail.

Why not place a quick call to Kansas DNR and get their answer? That's what I'd do.

In the process of that now, but these people don't know their ass from their elbow. Waiting on a call back form someone who "may" know.

I was in the same situation; tried to buy online and realized they have done away with that option. I think they want you to have to buy real tags instead of printing them out. I'm planning to buy mine at a Walmart when I get there. Hope you can get straight with them.

Call the law enforcement division. That's who you would be dealing with. I've called our enforcement division with questions before and they have always been helpful. Just a suggestion

They switched from printable tags ; ) to hard tags that aren't printable : (

You gotta get them 10 days in advance or buy them in-state now

Yep, for future reference for anyone, don't even fool with over the phone. These people have no idea what they are talking about.

I got a refund and plan to just buy it when I get there.

Yeah gotta buy when ya get there now but at least you can use same day unlike years pasted.

I bought and printed my license online. Then ordered my tags separate but I got mine before we went. From my understanding they swapped companies on their online stuff and that option may all be back in the future.

FYI: our outfitter did tell us that the wal mart near him didn't have them and we would've had to go a pretty good ways had we waited. You could go ahead and buy your license and print them and it may make getting your tags more seamless once you get out there; just a thought.

Do you know what Walmart didn't have them? I gotta buy it on Sunday and I imagine Walmart will be the only place open. I wonder why in the world a place that sells a license would not also have tags.

UPDATE: I just text the guy out there and ask him. He said that some of the Wal Marts had the updated system and some did not. From his understanding it was about 50/50 a couple of weeks ago. He said just call ahead to a couple that you're passing and you should be able to find one that has them. Or the first one you come to may have them; he just said he knew the one closest to him did not have them when we were there which is why he made that statement. The one closest to him was Chanute.

We always buy ours at a WMA office in Kansas. Usually works out good as we normally meet the area biologist and occasionally a GW. We've picked up good MRI several times like that.

we got ours at wally world in coffeyvilee wee and half ago when we left Oklahoma. almost made a mistake and didnt get a out of state license, just permits and tags i thin it was.

Thanks for the info, and thanks to everyone else for the info. One of the OK hunters decided to go to KS with me, so we are gonna stop in Dodge City to go to church and we will try the Walmart there. KS is gonna be the end of the season for me. Supposed to be 90 degrees Monday so we better kill them early.

preacher be safe up there finish Monday with a bang

I just got back from Kansas today.

You can buy your license online but have to buy your tag and permit from a vendor over the counter. We flew into Salina and planned to go to Walmart. Got their and the lady couldn't get her password to work and the only other person with the right password was at lunch. So, we went next door to Dicks Sporting Goods. Their cable was broken and couldn't print them out for us. So we finally went to Ace Hardware and the guy took care of us.

He told us they went to the over the counter system because people were printing out multiple tags and permits. He also said they had gotten so many complaints that they were going to offer them online agin next year.

Sounds about right. What a headache
