Our Mission
The Kansas Night Hunters Association is dedicated to promoting safe, ethical, and responsible nighttime hunting practices across the state of Kansas. Our mission is to foster a community of passionate hunters who respect wildlife conservation and natural habitats while advancing the sport of night hunting. We aim to educate, empower, and connect hunters with the tools, knowledge, and resources they need to pursue their passion, ensuring that night hunting remains a sustainable and safe activity for future generations.
Vision and Purpose
Night Hunting is the primary interest of the membership, and the ultimate aim is the proper harvest of coyotes with thermal or night vision equipment in a humane and sportsmanlike manner.
The KNHA stands for the wise use of our natural resources and the conservation of our wild game and their habitats. With this in mind, the KNHA does not hold to the theory that everyone can or should be a night hunter. Quite the contrary, KNHA stipulates that only persons who are willing to put forth the effort to assure that the sport will be undertaken in a humane, sportsmanlike manner should attempt to harvest coyotes with night vision equipment.
Night Hunters CREED
I firmly resolve, without reservations or equivocation, to uphold the following night hunting principles.
• That I will support national, state and provincial regulatory agencies and conservation organizations in the propagation and management of all game.
• That I will at all times actively support and promote hunting with night vision/thermal optics.
• That I will abide by current game regulations and at all times conduct myself as a sportsman so as not to bring discredit to the night hunting fraternity.
• That I will respect landowner’s rights.
• That I will enjoy the challenge of the hunt and will study the habits of the game I hunt.
• That I will legally use night hunting equipment and will only attempt to shoot game that is able to be taken by law with night hunting equipment.
• That I will only shoot at targets that I can positively identify with my night hunting equipment.
• That I will show respect for wildlife and considerations of the non-hunters view when publicly sharing pictures and videos online and on social media, as to not bring shame to the night hunting fraternity.
• That I will report any violations of wildlife regulations and laws that I observe or have evidence of to the proper authorities.
