Kansas Administrative Regulation 115-8-23, adopted by the Wildlife and Parks Commission, prohibits baiting and feeding of wildlife on all public lands statewide. The 2023 amendment extended the prohibition from hunting activities to all activities involving wildlife attractants on public property.
K.A.R. 115-8-23 is the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks rule governing baiting on lands owned, leased, or managed by the state, federal government, or other public entities. The Wildlife and Parks Commission amended the regulation in June 2023 to clarify that placing grain, salt blocks, mineral, or other attractants on public lands is prohibited for all activities, not solely hunting. The regulation aims to slow chronic wasting disease (CWD) transmission, which research links to artificial concentration of cervids at bait sites. Private land baiting remains lawful under current state regulation, though federal lands managed by USACE and others impose separate restrictions. Violations are enforced by KDWP conservation officers as wildlife regulation infractions.
Violations are state wildlife regulation infractions enforced by KDWP officers, typically punishable by fines, equipment confiscation, and potential hunting license suspension upon repeat offenses.
