I spend approximately $2500 a year to camp at cheney lake and have for several years but this year the upkeep on this park is terrible I have never moved into a campsite where there was grass 6" tall they find the ditches as a priority and they put the campsites on the back burner as far as mowing and that is wrong you don't have people paying to stay in ditches. I had people borrowing my weed eater so they could have a fire safely.

I agree with the other reviewers. This office is a nightmare to work with.

This was a fun and budget friendly day out. My 4 year old caught two perch in the kids pond. Sadly the BIG one got away. Parking is close to the pond. A lot of benches to sit by the pond and fish. We had lunch on the picnic tables in the shade. Even a nice shade tree by the pond. We walked to the hatchery exhibit too.

Questions & Answers

What do you do if you find an injured baby owl on your walk.

The best thing to do is leave it alone. Chances are the parent is nearby and sees the juvenile owl is in distress. Many birds are in the fledgling stage right now and are learning to fly. They can appear injured, but may just be moving awkwardly due to their age, unless there is a very noticeable injury. If the animal is in a high traffic area, you can look around to see if the nest is close and move the animal to that tree, but only if necessary. Human contact will stress wildlife a great deal and can cause more harm than good. Be sure you can safely move the animal without risk to you or the animal. Use gloves, a towel, whatever, to safely immobilize the animal. You can Google licensed animal rehabilitators in your area, but they can be few and far between depending on where you live. I do not advise taking them home and you attempting to care for them. The sentiment is greatly appreciated, but can do more harm than good.

I moved from Colorado to Pratt Kansas and I will be purchasing a hunting license. I have a hunter safety card from Colorado so how do I inform the Fish and Game that I have a Hunter Safety Card so they have it on record?

Can you keep a road kill bobcat pelt without a fur harvesters license?

Ron Dick | Mar 2, 2022
Mark Van Scoyoc | Mar 2, 2022

If it's in season and you came across the carcass, went and got a furharvester license, you would be ok. You couldn't take possession of the carcass first and THEN go get a license. That would not be legal. If the carcass we're discovered out of season, it would be best to contact your local Conservation Officer and see if they would issue a salvage tag or not. Kansas game laws don't necessarily cover all take of various species. This means that just because we issue salvage tags for deer, doesn't necessarily mean we'd issue one for a fur bearing species such as bobcat. It's a case by case approach. It would be better to salvage then to let it rot, but it is most important that you discuss this with the proper law enforcement officer before taking possession of it.
