Updates from FYI

Shotgun deer season is this weekend, and bow season has been in for a while. There is lots of activity gearing up for this. It seems at times that we can see more deer in the fields around our house than the hunters do.

The 7th issue of For Your Information for 2011 was issued recently. Thought you might be interested in a list of new Extension employees.
