KIOWA COUNTY
COMMISSIONER MEETING
SEPTEMBER 28, 2017 MEETING DATE
APPOINTMENTS:
Hunting Tips - Hunting and Wildlife Management in Colorado
Hunting provides tens of thousands of people in Colorado a unique recreational experience. But hunting goes far beyond the realm of recreation--it also provides an important wildlife management tool.
When few humans roamed the Rockies and the Great Plains more than 150 years ago, wildlife could move over hundreds of thousands of square miles of open range. But while wild critters still have room to move around in Colorado, their interface with humans requires the attention of professional wildlife managers.
About Town
“Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together and running over. For with the same measure shall others give to you. For with the same measure that you give shall be measured to you again.” That verse makes me wonder how many people actually give a tenth of their earnings back to the Lord.
Pueblo Weather Radar Back in Service Earlier than Expected
The National Weather Service office in Pueblo announced late Saturday that its weather radar site has returned to service days earlier than expected following repairs.
In mid-September, the NWS announced that the site was offline due the failure of the bull gear. The gear is a primary component for rotating the radar antenna, and is located in the pedestal.
