Kansas hunting halted after weekend rains
Kansas hunting was suspended by the state Game Commission due to fire hazards from a drought. A survey led by director Dave Leahy found enough moisture from weekend rains to reduce danger, with hunting set to resume one half hour before sunrise Thursday.
Duck hunting extension sought after season ban
The fire danger in most of the Quail range delayed the quail season opening to Tuesday. Seven days of duck hunting were lost due to the ban, and Leahy said the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is being asked for permission to extend duck hunting seven days beyond the December 1 closing date.
