Host Bret Amundson is on a late season deer hunt near Preston to learn more about what’s being done to control CWD.
TUNE (The Ultimate Nature Experience) is a five-day conservation ecology camp for girls and boys, ages 11 to 16. Youth take courses such as target shooting, archery, wilderness skills, fly fishing and tying, along with biology and ecology classes.
