Duck season opens amid Endrin alerts and DU events
Duck hunters face variable weather as the western Kansas and south central zones begin the season Saturday through December. Endrin contamination worries persist despite assurances of low impact, with health officials advising skinning, cooking, and avoidance for pregnant or nursing women. Ducks Unlimited plans in Ottawa with Lee Queal and a November 30 fundraiser, while local wildlife groups honor Kent Lash and the Williamsburg Ottawa club for conservation work. The Kaw Valley Sportsman Association and the Williamsburg Ottawa club host a Sight-In event near Williamsburg this Sunday at the Darrell Harbison range.
