Queal Leads Kansas Deer Season Efforts in Pleasanton
Lee Queal, quail study project leader for the Kansas Forestry, Fish and Game Commission, opens Kansas firearms deer season at a hunter check-in station in Troy. Known as the “father of the Kansas deer season,” Queal helped establish archery and firearms seasons after arriving in 1963 and returning in 1968 to lead deer work. Deer archery and firearms seasons regulate wildlife as 3,807 hunters joined the 531 deer archery kill in 1968, with Bill Peabody now in charge of deer biology.
