Congratulations to all of the youth deer hunters who hunted in the heat swatting bugs in very warm weather. Early dates for the youth deer season hampered harvest numbers a bit, but great job to these young hunters for successfully taking a deer! The youth hunters who participated were signed up for the chance to win several Scheel’s gift cards.
