May Full of Outdoor Adventure Opportunities
This May 8th edition has signs that summer is fast approaching with reports of fishing heating up in lakes and rivers and Safe Boating Week May 18-24 just prior to the May 27th Memorial Day Holiday. Free Fishing Days follow June 7-9. Seasonal reminders to "wear your life jacket" while on the water and "don't feed the bears" are simple ways to stay safe and enjoy the great outdoors. We've posted the Kids Fishing Day calendar, so look for an event near you and plan for some family fun. The turkeys are still gobblin' for another week and with schools out for summer vacation, what a super opportunity to take a youngster on a squirrel hunt during the Spring Squirrel season June 1-15. The warming weather is good for planting wildlife food patches as we have had ample "April showers." The hens are nesting, the stripers running, the trillium blooming , and a new herd of elk will be released in Buchanan County later in the month! Lot's to do in the great outdoors... Be sure to pause and smell the May flowers!
