Master Hunter Permit Program By Penny Hunter Staff Writer The master hunter permit program is for those individuals motivated by a desire to learn and utilize a high level of hunting knowledge and skill. Master hunters are eligible to participate in special hunts aimed at reducing property damage and public safety problems posed by wild life. The opportunities vary from elk, deer, bear, turkey and Photo by Billy Hunter goose hunts from year to year. Students of Pateros Junior High got their groove on at the first dance of the school year Friday night at the school. To become a certified master hunter each applicant should demonstrate proficiency with their desired weapon, provide 20 hours of volunteer service on a state wild life service project, attend Crime Observation and Reporting Training, receive an 80 percent on a written examination once the independent study materials are completed, sign an agreement to abide by the Master Hunter Code of Ethics and pass a law enforcement background check. All program requirements must be completed by Nov. 15 of the application year. The open enrollment period for 2010 is now closed, the open enrollment periods is Jan. 1 - Feb. 15, 2011.

Before I was always too tired and lethargic to do much of anything. Now I have all kinds of energy even though there are limits to what I can physically do according to my doctors. When I receive my transplant I’m going to definitely request to meet the
