I arrived in Kansas late Friday night in Ashland and was told that the only place to buy a license was Dodge City so I drove to the Wal-Mart Saturday morning and got my license but they were out of Hunting Atlas as was everyone else and since it was the weekend the Parks and Wildlife office was closed. I was about to leave Dodge when, out of desperation, I tried the Boot Hill Museum and a salesperson said yes her mother has some just go over to the Longbranch Saloon where a woman dressed like Miss Kitty had some in the trunk of her car--how appropriate for Dodge City.
The Hunting Atlas would be INFINITELY more useful if the Parks and Wildlife folks would include the roads or even the GPS coordinates of the Walk In Hunting Areas. I could never find the 4 to 5 square mile area suggested in a thread above nor could folks that had lived their entire life direct me--very frustrating and totally unnecessary. End of rant. Bill

Bill: I had the same problem when I was out there the second weekend of the season. We ended up southwest of Ness City about 25 miles and fortunately we had a road atlas in one vehicle that gave us some of the road names(major) on the 911 grid which helped as well as my grandson had a GPS on his cell phone. After driving around for 2 hours plus, we finally positively identified one of the walk in areas and were ok then. A lot of the roads are vacated and although the Fish and Game map is gridded by mile square sections not all the roads go through. We found one that we had to drive across a tractor road a 1/4 mile to get to the entrance. I have an old aquaintance on the Fish and Game Board and plan to make him aware of this situation for whatever it's worth. We got a big laugh at my son and his buddy in the other truck calling them Gilligan and the "Skipper" and we were not in the mood for a stranded three hour cruise. We acused them of skipping the map reading class in high school. The 6 of us ended up with 11 birds so that helped. Happy New Year!!!! Lee.
