The first hunting season of 2012-2013 opens Saturday with dove, rabbit, and squirrel hunting. DNR Conservation Officer Ken Kenyon tells KNIA/KRLS that he expects many local hunters to be out for the three-day weekend. He thinks the northwest parts of the county will be especially busy for the dove hunting, including areas near Runnells and Swan. Kenyon adds that squirrel and rabbit hunters will likely wait until the weather is cooler to start their hunt.
