The Kansas Sport Hunting Association (KSHA)
is a not-for-profit organization of hunting service
professionals and game bird producers working
together to promote sport hunting, shooting
sports and game bird production in Kansas and
promoting Kansas as the premier destination
hunting location. KSHA shares many of the
same goals as the North American Gamebird
Association.
KSHA strives to support all aspects of the hunting industry -- hunting service professionals, game bird producers and suppliers. KSHA members understand that by working together to provide the best captive-reared game birds available and quality hunting experiences, Kansas’ reputation as a hunting destination will continue to grow, benefiting both gamebird producers and hunting service professionals.
Membership is open to businesses and individuals involved in any aspect of the hunting business or to those who wish to support hunting in Kansas. You may apply for membership using our online application.
The organization’s work is directed by a board of directors elected at each annual meeting.
Hunt Kansas Promotion
KSHA promotes hunting in Kansas and
provides benefits for its game bird producer
members through its national "Hunt
Kansas" promotional campaign. Advertising is
purchased in national publications, such as
Pointing Dog Journal and Retriever Journal,
and a number of state hunting regulation
guides (Mississippi, Georgia and Pennsylvania
are examples). Advertisements include a
phone number where more information about
hunting in Kansas can be requested.
Lobbyist Support - Legislative Action
KSHA retains lobbyists during the
legislative session who work to promote
legislation favorable to our industry. During
the past legislative session, this effort saved
KSHA members potentially thousands of
dollars each with passage of legislation
regarding hunter safety requirements on CSAs
and certification requirements for hunting
guides. The lobbyists also keep members
informed of legislation that could impact the
industry, negatively or positively. They assist
in strategy planning for future legislative
sessions. The organization distributes
informational packets to legislators about the
economic impacts of the industry.
Web Site
KSHA maintains this website to promote
hunting in Kansas, list members with links to
their websites and email information and
provide additional information about the
organization and industry.
