We have some light summer reading for you this month, Kelcy. Summer appears to be upon us, the terns have returned to Rome Pond and Mike Alaimo's nesting platforms, our public lands ecologists are busy finding projects to spend the financial support this program has generated to create more public lands for you to hunt on and the wood duck chicks have jumped! | |
We also have some great summer events coming up, I hope to see you at one of them. Until then, enjoy our June edition...
Warmly,
Bruce
