Plan a visit with your children, grandchildren, or any other youngster you can bring to the KDFWR Salato Wildlife Education Center, located at the KDFWR’s headquarters at #1 Sportsman’s Lane off U.S. 60 in Frankfort. It’s a great place to introduce youngsters to the natural wonders of our state. Salato has ended its winter slumber and
officially reopened for the season on Saturday, March 5. For information call 1-800-858-1549 or visit www.fw.ky.gov. Camp Crooked Creek’s Spring Adventure Camp happens April 18 – 22, 2016. Always in need of volunteers, the camp caters to special needs children. A wide variety of outdoor activities are planned each day for a new (daily) group of 250 - 300 kids. Breakfast is served at 8:15 A.M. with activities commencing at 9:00 A.M. and departure at 2:00 P.M. Lunch is provided for everyone. Camp Crooked Creek is located very close to the Bernheim Forest Exit off I-65 south of Shepherdsville. If you wish to volunteer or make a financial donation to support the camp, call Quail forever Chapter member Bill Guenthner at 491 8995. 2015 Hunting and Fishing Licenses expired on 2/29/2016. Your boat registrations expire April 30, 2016. Be sure to re-new before you go afield or on the water. Heartworm disease in canines is both debilitating and deadly. If you stopped treating your dogs with heartworm preventative during the winter to save a few bucks, be sure you have your dog tested prior to re-starting the medication. Ivermec administered to a dog with heartworms can be as deadly as the disease itself. You will spend about $700.00 to treat a dog with heartworms. You can also expect he will have to be crate restricted for about 8 weeks while the treatment kills the worms. That won’t be much fun for you or him. The few $$ you saved this past winter can come back to haunt you in a big way.
