Kansas is a hunting destination. Hunters from across the country come here to take a shot at the state's deer, turkeys and pheasants. But fewer Kansans are spending time in the field. And that's endangering the conservation funding fueled by the sale of hunting licenses. Stephan Bisaha, of the Kansas News Service, reports on how Kansas is working on a new plan to attract young hunters.
