Expert questions why Douglas County deer are plentiful but kills remain low
Kansas biologist Bill Peabody sets up at Kanwaka Corner to link county deer density with low hunter success. By noon only six kills reported in Douglas County, with largest a 160-pound buck. Other deer taken include fawns and does by Lawrence, Lecompton, Eudora, and Topeka hunters. Peabody aims to understand hunter skill, deer wariness, and landowner permissiveness as factors.
