will be using ammunition
that will break up when
it makes contact with the
deer, which will decrease
the likelihood of the bullet
going through the animal
and causing ricochet.
“We’re going to make
sure that any of the work
that we conduct out on the
airfield is only in the safe
locations to do so,” Moore
said. “As mentioned, there
are a lot of areas where
communities are in the
backdrop, but those aren’t
the areas we’re going to
target. We’re only going
to work in areas where it is
safe to use these firearms.”
Moore said the best
time for the “sharpshooting
activities” is in the fall.
He mentioned the team
of wildlife experts would
need to conduct the
activities at least once or
twice a week for about a
month.

that’s certainty something
to think about, but the
point was they felt some
investment or some value
in the fair itself. Sadly, this
referendum seems to hinge
on a single word rather than
the modern rebranding of a
fair that could possibly use
a serious makeover after
60 years of use. “
After the resolution
to rename the fair was
approved, the council

“The majority of the
