Sanders Appoints Steve Kueter to the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission • Arkansas Game & Fish Commission

Kueter is a lifelong resident of Greene County and earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Wildlife Management from Arkansas State University. He owns and operates Kueter’s Fish Company, Inc., a third-generation catfish and baitfish farm in Paragould.

An avid hunter and fisherman since childhood, Kueter developed a lifelong appreciation for Arkansas’s outdoors through time spent hunting and fishing alongside his father, grandfather and extended family. Today, he continues that tradition with his wife, Emily, their three children, and two grandchildren.

“In my lifetime, there have been so many success stories facilitated by the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission,” Kueter said. “When I was growing up, you had to travel hours away to deer hunt, and turkeys were just being reintroduced to the Ozarks. When we deer hunted in north Arkansas, we came back talking about seeing a lone track or the flash of a deer’s tail. It wasn’t often that you heard of someone harvesting a deer. Today, turkey and deer are abundant throughout most of the state. It is humbling to be appointed by Gov. Sanders and entrusted to continue the good work of the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission and the commissioners who have come before me.”
