The objective of the Wildlife Contest is for FFA members to test their knowledge of wildlife,
environment, habitat requirements and legal regulations. Students identify wildlife pelts, mounts, tracks and equiptment. A written exam is also administered to test students understanding of hunting/fishing regulations and wildlife knowledge.
The Dairy Evaluation team placed 30th our of 54. Team members were Summer Johnson, Luke Christensen, Isaiah Tretsven, and Billy Schallenberger. The Dairy team also had to qualify to attend this event.
