Well ~ I just got a call from my brother in Kansas, and he's trying to get me to join him for a turkey hunt this weekend. Ever since, I've been wading thru Kansas' hunting regulations, seeing what all I'd have to have, if I go.
After straining my eyes for a couple of hours, reading all the small print, I decided to just send the KDWP an e-mail, to hopefully get a response as to what I need, straight from the horses' mouth, so to speak. I'd sure hate to screw up, and end up in some trouble.
Anyways, as I was scanning their website, I came across something very interesting, to say the least. A disabled hunter can "hunt by proxy" (authority or power to act for another), with the correct permit. I've never heard of anything like that before ~ have you?!

Assistance to Hunt:
Permanently disabled persons in possession of an archery permit may use crossbows or locking draws while hunting deer, as permitted under KAR 115-18-7, by application and special permit.
Any person with a permanent physical or visual disability that prevents the person's ability to hunt safely, as certified by a physician, may be eligible to obtain a permit to designate someone else to take a legal limit of game for the permit holder.
