(MSC News)--Motorists, traveling in four designated areas of the local Kansas region, can expect to be stopped at checkpoints planned to be held Sunday.

According to a news release from the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks, and Tourism, the checkpoints are planned to be held on Kansas 7 Highway near White Cloud, US 36 Highway, near Elwood, US 59 Highway, near Nortonville and US 75 Highway, near Sabetha. The scheduled time for the stops is not made public.

Game Wardens will partner with Kansas Highway Patrol Troopers to conduct the joint highway checkpoints, which are intended to help enforce state and federal wildlife laws, as well as Kansas driver's licensing laws.

The checkpoints are timed with the hunting seasons for upland and migratory birds, as well as deer.

The news release states that the motorists stopped for license validation will then be asked if they are hunters or transporting wildlife. If so, those drivers will be directed to a second check lane overseen by the Game Wardens. If they are not hunters, and if licenses are valid, motorists will be allowed to resume travel.

Minimal delays are expected in both cases.

The checkpoints will depend on weather conditions.

Additional wildlife checkpoints will occur around the state during the fall and winter hunting seasons.
